The Dropout: Amanda Seyfried Initially Turned Down Elizabeth Holmes Role
Amanda Seyfried initially declined the offer to portray Elizabeth Holmes in the upcoming Hulu series The Dropout. The series will revolve around Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who was found guilty of fraud and conspiracy charges last month. Holmes' rise as an entrepreneur in the biotechnology industry, whose company had a $10 billion valuation in 2013, will be included in the series as well as Holmes' and Theranos' eventual downfall. Theranos was investigated in 2015 and eventually charged in 2018 with fraud due to the company making false claims regarding its medical technology that it touted as being able to run a plethora of medical tests from only a few drops of blood.
