To be brief: In June 2015, Gypsy conspired with her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, to murder her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who it turned out had made Gypsy a lifelong victim of her Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Aleah Woodmanseee (a.k.a. “Lacey”) (Played by AnnaSophia Robb) Though her name has been changed to Lacey, it’s apparent that Gypsy’s across-the-street neighbor and friend in The Act is a stand-in for real-life neighbor and friend Aleah Woodmansee. (Just as Chloë Sevigny’s character, Mel, is doubtless a doppelgänger for Aleah’s mother, Amy Pinegar.)
Gypsy Rose Blanchard (Played by Joey King) In Mommy Dead and Dearest, Gypsy’s father, Rod, affirms that Dee Dee had become paranoid about Gypsy suffering from sleep apnea and other conditions by the time their child was 3 months old.
Dean’s reporting makes the important distinction that the granular bits of fascination surrounding Gypsy’s life are hard to keep straight even to Gypsy, though The Act is overall faithful to her ongoing misapprehension of her own age and year of birth.
Gypsy’s father has been reluctant to speak with media of late, though with The Act having concluded and his efforts to push for her early release ramping up, he did recently open up to a reporter with A&E’s Real Crime, revealing that he speaks with his daughter weekly and makes the trip from Louisiana to Missouri to visit the prison when he can. As for the specific visit depicted in the series finale, it provided both dramatic closure and was efficient exposition, but in truth, it was Stanfield who recovered Gypsy’s records, and it took months to procure them.
In July 2015, Gypsy Rose accepted a plea deal for the charge of second-degree murder following the fatal stabbing of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard by Rose’s then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn. Deputies found Blanchard face down in a pool of blood and feared that Gypsy Rose might have been abducted by the murderer.
Gypsy plans to become an advocate for victims of child abuse, particularly victims of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. She hopes that, via a tell-all book about her experiences, she will help victims of child abuse. She said:
Gypsy has approached prison with positivity and has engaged in several self-improvement causes. She is a facilitator of a program called the Impact of Crime on Victims Class. She told the Springfield News-Leader that the courses have taught her how to impact the community positively.
Rose has her first parole hearing in December 2021 and could be released on parole as early as December 2023 .
Gypsy was engaged to a prison pen pal named Ken, but they called off the engagement. In April 2019, a family friend broke the news that Gypsy was engaged to a prison pen pal. “It’s very exciting for her, she’s very excited,” Fancy Macelli told E! News.
At the time, Gypsy didn’t have an engagement ring, so a prisoner who was getting divorced gave Gypsy her wedding band. “Another inmate was getting divorced and gave her that for her to just have, so that she could feel good about it,” Fancy explained.
Russell won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her portrayal of Rose. Gypsy was also adapted as 1993 television movie with Bette Midler playing Rose.
Jerome Robbins was interested, and wanted Leland Hayward as co-producer; Merman also wanted Hayward to produce her next show. Merrick and Hayward approached Arthur Laurents to write the book. As he relates, Laurents initially was not interested until he saw that the story was one of parents living their children's lives. Composers Irving Berlin and Cole Porter declined the project. Finally, Robbins asked Stephen Sondheim, who agreed to do it. Sondheim had worked with Robbins and Laurents on the musical West Side Story. However, Merman did not want an unknown composer, and wanted Jule Styne to write the music. Although Sondheim initially refused to write only the lyrics, he was persuaded by Oscar Hammerstein to accept the job.
Gypsy: A Musical Fable is a 1959 musical with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents. Gypsy is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, and focuses on her mother, Rose, ...

Rose and her two daughters, Baby June and Louise, play the vaudeville circuit around the United States in the early 1920s. Rose, the archetype of a stage mother, is aggressive and domineering, pushing her children to perform. While June is an extroverted, talented child star, the older girl, Louise, is shy. The kiddie act has one song, " May We Entertain You ", that they sing over and over again, with June always as the centerpiece and Louise often as one of the "boys" ("Baby June and Her Newsboys"). Rose has big dreams for the girls but encounters setbacks, such as attempting to borrow money from her father ("Some People"). When Rose meets a former agent, Herbie, she persuades him to become their manager using her seductive and feminine wiles ("Small World"). The girls grow up, and June, now billed as Dainty June, and her act have a chance to perform for Mr. Goldstone of the Orpheum Circuit ("Mr. Goldstone, I Love You"). Meanwhile, Louise celebrates her birthday alone and asks her birthday present, a lamb, just how old she is this year ("Little Lamb"). After Rose rejects Herbie's marriage proposal, he considers leaving, but she asserts that he could never get away from her ("You'll Never Get Away From Me").
Gypsy opened in Leicester, UK for a six-week run in March 2012. Directed by Paul Kerryson and starring Australian musical theatre actor Caroline O'Connor as Rose. Among the cast were Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as Louise, David Fleeshman as Herbie, and Daisy Maywood as Dainty June.
Now billed as "Dainty June and Her Farmboys", the act finally performs on the Orpheum Circuit ("Dainty June and Her Farmboys", “Broadway”). June is soon offered a place at a Performing Arts school after an audition. However, Rose turns this down, refusing to break up the act.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard's mother, Dee Dee, falsely claimed her daughter was suffering from different illnesses until Gypsy arranged for her boyfriend to kill her mother in 2015.
Gypsy Rose, who was born in 1991, was a baby when Dee Dee claimed her daughter had sleep apnea. When Gypsy was eight years old, Dee Dee described her as suffering from leukemia and muscular dystrophy and said she required a wheelchair and feeding tube. The list of medical problems that Dee Dee related about her daughter would go on to include seizures, asthma and hearing and visual impairments.
Gypsy has also stated her mother would sometimes hit her and deny her food. Gypsy eventually managed to get back online. She joined a Christian dating site, where she met Nicholas Godejohn. She told him the truth about her mother's actions and ended up asking him to kill Dee Dee so they could be together.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard grew up with her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, making claims about her health that resulted in a series of dire diagnoses and medical interventions. However, Gypsy wasn't actually unwell — her mother had been lying about her symptoms.
Dean is an executive producer and writer for the first season of the series. Joey King was cast as Gypsy Rose, and received an Emmy nomination for her performance; she shaved her head for the role. Actress Patricia Arquette was cast as Dee Dee, and won an Emmy for her performance. The Act premiered on March 20, 2019.
Gypsy Rose pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is serving a 10-year sentence; after a brief trial in November 2018 Godejohn was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
They named their daughter Gypsy Rose because Clauddine liked the name Gypsy and Rod was a fan of Guns N' Roses.
At first, Clauddine and Gypsy lived in a rented home in Aurora, in the southwestern area of the state. During their time there, Gypsy was honored by the Oley Foundation, which advocates for the rights of feeding-tube recipients, as its 2007 Child of the Year.
Despite Dee Dee's efforts to prevent her from using the Internet, which went as far as destroying her daughter's phone and laptop, Gypsy maintained contact with Godejohn, who saved printouts of her posts, until 2014. The next year, Gypsy arranged and paid for Godejohn to meet her mother in Springfield.
Dr. Flasterstein, the pediatric neurologist who believed Gypsy was fully capable of walking on her own and wrote in his notes that he suspected Munchausen by proxy, says it was only the second such possible case he had ever come across. He learned of Dee Dee's murder at the hands of Gypsy and her boyfriend later in 2015 when a former nurse emailed him the news story. "Poor Gypsy", he said. "She suffered all those years, and for no reason." He told Dean he wished he could have done more.
^ While Rod says he was completely unaware of the connections that existed between Clauddine, his daughter's name and background, and the background of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee , journalists who covered the case have noted the similarities between it and the background of Gypsy Rose Lee , whose mother also controlled her life, forced her to perform against her wishes and maintained separate birth certificates that she would use whenever it was advantageous for her to do so, just as Clauddine did with her own daughter.
