The Tragic True Story Behind Hulu’s The Girl From Plainville

Hulu’s The Girl From Plainville tells the true story of Conrad Roy III, an 18-year-old who died by suicide in 2014. The case gained national attention due to the controversial role of his girlfriend Michelle Carter and the trial’s potentially precedent-setting outcome, which suggested that someone’s words can be legally considered the direct cause of another person’s suicide. Hulu’s adaptation stars Elle Fanning and Chloë Sevigny, and it drops today.

Bridgerton's Charithra Chandran Is Ready To Dazzle

There’s not a coiffed updo or corseted, Regency-inspired gown in sight, but Charithra Chandran is still radiant. Sitting in a conference room at Netflix’s London headquarters, the 25-year-old actor is rocking a dewy, no-makeup makeup look paired with an animal print shirt. Is it leopard or jaguar? “I can’t really tell the difference!” she says over Zoom, adding that the office space around her is “way nicer” and has “way better snacks” than her London flat. Despite the sterile environment, Chandran’s eyes sparkle with the anticipation of a young debutante awaiting a lavish ball. After all, we are here to talk about her grand debut as a “diamond of the first water” in Bridgerton Season 2.
