Before ‘The Dropout’: Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwanis’s Real-Life Relationship Timeline

Wilson Chapman editorDisgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is recognized by the specific image she sculpted herself in: a deep-voiced, highly-mannered CEO decked out in black turtlenecks to emulate her role model, Steve Jobs. But in the Hulu miniseries “The Dropout,” which follows her trajectory from founding the company that would make her famous to being indicted by the U.S.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticOf all this season’s limited series based on high-profile incidents of chicanery, “The Dropout” stands out. More than Showtime’s Uber show, Apple’s WeWork show, or Netflix’s Anna Delvey show, Hulu’s look at the life and career of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes feels as though it has a certain point-of-view on its subject.

Ziwe has her comedy sights set on a particularly controversial dream guest!The late night talk show queen, host of her self-titled series , walked the carpet at this year's Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills on Sunday evening, and she spoke with ET's Lauren Zima about who she'd interview on her show if she could pick anyone.«I mean, there’s an infinite amount of people [I'd like to have on], but my number one guest is Elizabeth Theranos,» Ziwe said, referring to Elizabeth Holmes, the infamous founder and CEO of Theranos who was later convicted of criminal fraud and is currently out on bond as she awaits sentencing in September.«I don't think she’s coming to this party,» Ziwe added with a smile. «But if she was, I would love to talk to her.»Holmes is also the subject of the biographical miniseries — starring Amanda Seyfried as the disgraced tech entrepreneur — which is streaming on Hulu.«Emily Ratajkowski is someone I’m interviewing this season so you’ll get to see her on the show,» Ziwe continued. «But you’re going to absolutely gag when you find out who I'm interviewing on this season. Some anonymous people, some very famous celebs, it's going to be great!»As for the look she wore to the always-stylish Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Ziwe stunned in a shiny, purple Sergio Hudson dress that she says she chose due to «comfort.»«This is a comfortable slip dress,» Ziwe said of her chic look.

Young love in Hollywood! Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi (full name Jacob Hurley Bongiovi) have become staples on one another’s respective social media pages — and awards show red carpets — since confirming their relationship.

Elizabeth Holmes loved to do, which is why it's been incorporated into, Hulu’s true-crime series chronicling the explosive realization that her once groundbreaking biotech startup was built on lies and fraudulent data. While speaking to ET by phone and at the 92Y for their recent Recanati-Kaplan Talks event, Amanda Seyfried and showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether broke down all of Holmes’ awkward dancing and the series’ incredible music cues, from Len’s “Steal My Sunshine” to “Y Control” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. “The music ended up becoming such a big part of the show and it started with the anecdote in the podcast about Elizabeth Holmes dancing in her car alone,” Meriwether says, referring to the ABC News investigative series hosted by Rebecca Jarvis which is adapted from. “That really stuck out to me because I was just really trying to imagine what Elizabeth Holmes is like when nobody’s watching her.”From the very first episode, Holmes is seen dancing by herself at various points throughout the story, whether she’s alone in her room, in the car between investor meetings or lost in her head after a long job.

Life imitating art. Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys played a married couple on The Americans — and then they fell in love in real life.

The two-part programme, Jeremy Kyle Show – Death on Daytime, vows to uncover the 'scandal behind the hit series' after allegations about production practices and backstage behaviour emerged.

As you hopefully already know, Hulu’s “The Dropout,” is terrific, and Amanda Seyfried is incredible in her layered depiction— something between absolute confidence, desperation, and legitimate imposter syndrome—of Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO of Theranos, the embattled tech/healthcare startup that lied to its investors, employees, and partners creating a major fraud sh*tstorm in 2018 when their grift became exposed (read our review here).
