As the Covid-19 pandemic spread across the globe, Emmy-nominated actress Betty Gilpin returned to her childhood home in Connecticut, opting to ride out uncertain times with her parents and two younger brothers. She even slept in a bedroom that she said was “frozen in time,” complete with Destiny’s Child posters on the walls.
It’s an image that invites rapport: In the most difficult circumstances, a veteran actress returns to the warmth of her childhood home to snooze under vintage pictures of Beyonce. Other parts of Gilpin’s life, however, seem unreal.
Back in September 2019, Gilpin readied for the release of Craig Zobel’s “The Hunt.” It marked her first big-screen leading role, but outcry from no less than then-President Donald Trump led to the film’s cancellation. The film was eventually released in theaters in March 2020 — days before the country (and its movie theaters) began to shut down.
