The first challenge with 'The Girl From Plainville' actress Chloë Sevigny is figuring out how to describe her, as no single epithet feels quite right.
Based on the real-life case of Michelle Carter, the Massachusetts teenager convicted of involuntary manslaughter after encouraging her long-distance boyfriend, Conrad Roy, to commit suicide, the miniseries stars Elle Fanning as Carter, while Sevigny plays Roy’s mother, Lynn. Sevigny remembers—in passing, at least—seeing the trial play out in the tabloids, and feeling skeptical about Carter.
Sevigny’s performance as Lynn is sensitive, devastating, but ultimately hopeful. It’s a portrait of a grieving mother working to turn the senseless loss of her son into something meaningful, even as the trust between those who were supposed to be supportive of Conrad while he was alive constantly shift. Despite the profound betrayal Lynn felt after Carter’s initial attempts to cozy up to the family after Conrad’s death, her approach was always one of forgiveness and humanity.
For Sevigny, it was both that ambiguity and its relevance to the challenges faced by teenagers in this “very online” age that reeled her in. “I think that it tackles a lot of issues that a lot of young people, and frankly, people of all ages, are dealing with: navigating these new means of communication, isolation, depression, anxiety,” she says.
