18In this version of events, Gypsy is only just turning 18, but since she knows that's not true, she talks around her mother's lie, suggesting that 18 still somehow feels very adult. (Again, because she's actually 21.)
Episode Info Gypsy is getting older and Dee Dee is forced to new legal maneuvers to keep control of her "little girl," but Dee Dee is limited by her health problems; Gypsy goes to greater lengths than ever to connect with men and experience a sexual awakening.
The murder of Dee Dee Blanchard is the true story The Act is based on. In June 2015, when Dee Dee was found stabbed to death inside her home, Gypsy was the most unlikely suspect.
The father's out of the picture, but Dee Dee has her mother Emma (Margo Martindale from The Americans) and her cousin Janet (Rhea Seehorn from Better Call Saul) to count on.
Yes. Fact-checking The Act revealed this to be true. Gypsy claimed that Dee Dee tied her to the bed for two weeks after she tried to run away. The difference from the TV show is that it only happened once in real life (after running away to be with the guy she met at the sci-fi convention).
Episode Info Gypsy and Nick scheme to meet in person and hope to win Dee Dee's approval, but when their plan goes disastrously wrong they'll be pushed to make an extreme choice in order to be together.
"It is possible that Gypsy Rose presents with puberphonia (high-pitched voice after birth), a class of psychogenic voice disorders," says Jayne Latz, an executive communication coach and president and founder of Corporate Speech Solutions.
Gypsy has stated it was only after Dee Dee's death that she realized the extent of her mother's deception. While Gypsy had known she could walk and eat regular food, she had believed she had leukemia. Today Gypsy is healthy. She's also said she enjoys more freedom in prison than in the life she shared with Dee Dee.
As for her teeth, they did rot and were subsequently removed, likely due to the removal of Gypsy's salivary glands. According to Gypsy, her mother used a numbing agent to numb her gums, causing her to drool, which helped convince doctors to remove the glands.
Molly EphraimMolly Ephraim as Kate, Gypsy's lawyer based on Mike Stanfield.
Gypsy's attorney, Michael Stanfield, told Buzzfeed that she gained 14 pounds in the 12 months she spent in Greene County Jail before her plea; most inmates lose weight due to the poor food quality, which seems to indicate that Gypsy had been malnourished when living with her mother.
She hasn't shared what her friendship is like with Gypsy today, but Woodmansee recently spoke with In Touch about The Act, and while she isn't watching the series, she isn't impressed with the portrayal she's getting based on the trailer for the series. “Honestly, I have not watched the show,” she said.
