Ted Takes Series Facts, The Act:
Joey King shaved her head for the 4th time for this role.
The Blanchards’ story of abuse and deception prompted a blockbuster BuzzFeed article by Michelle Dean (who also co-created the show with Nick Antosca) and a feature-length HBO documentary (Mommy Dead and Dearest); now, Hulu has adapted the saga into a mini-series that builds on America’s fascination with true crime, bad parenting and scams.
