Hulu’s acclaimed limited series "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" pushed Grace Van Patten to her limits—learning Italian in weeks, embodying Amanda’s story, and carrying insights from both Knox herself and producer Monica Lewinsky that changed her beyond the role.
Grace opens up about the pivotal gap year that made her choose acting for good and the unexpected lessons she’s still trying to apply off-screen. Plus, with "Tell Me Lies" season 3 filming now, Grace hints at what makes this chapter of her career both thrilling and bittersweet.
