More about actress Amanda Seyfried and The Dropout

Amanda Seyfriend won the Golden Globes 2023 for her role in the miniseries, The Dropout. The actress wasn't present to receive the award as it was revealed that she was in the middle of preparing for her musical.

Amanda Seyfried was born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to Ann Sander, who was an occupational therapist, and Jack Seyfried, a pharmacist. The Golden Globes 2023 nominee began pursuing modeling when she was 11 years old, and then went on to perform in high school productions and even took singing lessons.

After completing her schooling, the star began studying at Fordham University. But she had to forgo her education after she was cast in the popular teen comedy Mean Girls in 2004. Since then, Amanda has seen quite a bit of television fame, with breakout performances in films, including Mamma Mia! in 2008 and Red Riding Hood in 2011.

The Dropout, starring Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes, documented the rise and downfall of Theranos, a biotech company that sought to revolutionize the healthcare industry.

The miniseres, which was also a Golden Globes 2023 nominee for Best Limited Series, is based on an original story. Holmes was the CEO of the company which claimed to have invented a machine that ran dozens of blood tests using only a drop of blood. While it was initially valued at $10 billion, the founder was found guilty of fraud.

The Dropout is based on an ABC podcast of the same name that began in 2019 and ran throughout Holmes' trial in court when he was found guilty in 2022. The Hulu series documented many individuals, including investors, scientists, and employees who were part of the podcast.

On her Instagram page, Amanda said:

"I missed a big night out there. I'm in New York. I was on Facetime with my Dropout team who are the reason that I got this award. It is a true honor to been a part of that. And had to miss it because I am working on something that is magic and its a musical, so I'm finally getting to do something that I've never really done."

While the actress mentioned that she couldn't divulge further details, she said it was going to be more fun and would involve a lot of hard work.
