Love and Death: Can Elizabeth Olsen live up to Jessica Biel’s Candy Montgomery
.Love and Death is a true crime drama about the life of Candy Montgomery. This movie will face a lot of pressure right now because Last Jessica Biel portrayed Candy in a limited series on Hulu. Jessica transformed into the real-life housewife turned Axe murderer because she looks exactly like her. She even had her perm and glasses. Elizabeth Olsen won’t be able to avoid getting comparisons because she and Jessica are playing the same woman. There seem to be more liberties with this version because Olsen didn’t try to look like Candy.
She looks like an Old Hollywood housewife rather than the more gritty portrayal of Biel. I cannot declare which one will be better since I am still waiting for this version but the Hulu version felt more historically accurate.
