Seyfried&#8217;s portrayal of Holmes included wearing a black turtleneck, red lipstick, and speaking in a deep voice to mimic her.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the controversy surrounding the show, Seyfried won an Emmy for her performance and has expressed interest in playing Holmes again in the future. Jennifer Lawrence was originally set to play Holmes in a movie directed by Adam McKay, but has since dropped out of the project.<\/p>\n<h3>The Rise and Fall of Theranos<\/h3>\n<p>Holmes founded Theranos at just 19 years old with the goal of developing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elizabeth-holmes-amanda-seyfried-played-a-character-i-created-in-hulu-series-the-dropout\/\" title=\"Amanda Seyfried portrayed a character I invented in Hulu's 'The Dropout,' says Elizabeth Holmes.\">revolutionary blood-testing device<\/a>. She quickly became one of the world&#8217;s most sought-after entrepreneurs and was celebrated by the media for being the youngest self<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nolte-corporate-media-enabled-elizabeth-holmes-fraud-with-glowing-coverage\/\" title=\"Nolte: Corporate Media Enabled Elizabeth Holmes' Fraud with Glowing Coverage\">-made female billionaire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was later discovered that Holmes had been lying about the capabilities of the technology, leading to a massive corporate fraud scandal. She was found guilty on four counts of fraud and sentenced to 11 years in prison, which she is currently appealing.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking to the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Despite her legal troubles, Holmes is looking to move forward from the scandal and reinvent herself as Liz Holmes, a soft-spoken mother of two. While some may take issue with this attempt at rebranding, it&#8217;s clear that Holmes is determined to put the past behind her and move on with her life.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Elizabeth Holmes created a persona to be taken seriously in the business world.<\/li>\n<li>Amanda Seyfried won an Emmy for her portrayal of Holmes in &#8220;The Dropout.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Theranos was at the center of a massive corporate fraud scandal.<\/li>\n<li>Holmes is currently appealing her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/friday-afternoon-update-intel-leaker-hearing-and-theranos-founders-appeal\/\" title=\"Friday Afternoon Update: Intel Leaker Hearing And Theranos Founder\u2019s Appeal\">11-year prison sentence<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Despite criticism, Holmes is looking to move forward and reinvent herself as Liz Holmes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth Holmes reacted to actress Amanda Seyfried playing her in the Hulu series \u201cThe Dropout,\u201d claiming that portrayal didn\u2019t reflect her true self. \u201cThey\u2019re not playing me,\u201d Holmes told The New York Times of Seyfried and others. \u201cThey\u2019re playing a character I created.\u201d Holmes told the publication that she created the persona because \u201cI believed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":345,"featured_media":1927821,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[6962,24171,9199,20192,3880,12366,17004,26316,26317,26315],"class_list":["post-1927820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-the","tag-amanda","tag-character","tag-dropout","tag-elizabeth","tag-holmes","tag-hulus","tag-invented","tag-portrayed","tag-seyfried"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1927820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1927821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1927820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1927820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1927820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
