The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox allowed Grace Van Patten to work with sister Anna Van Patten, who then went on to appear in a graphic sex scene as Kitty on Euphoria.
Grace, who is Anna’s older sister, grew up with her siblings in New York City before attending Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School. After being directed by her father, Timothy Van Patten, in an episode of The Sopranos, Grace continued to find success with roles in Boardwalk Empire, Maniac and Nine Perfect Strangers.
Grace skyrocketed to fame after being cast as Lucy in Hulu’s Tell Me Lies. She went on to score the lead role as Amanda Knox in a limited series, which will chronicle the period after Knox was wrongfully accused in Meredith Kercher’s murder trial, her time in prison and her journey to freedom. Margaret Qualley was originally set to play Knox in Hulu’s scripted series, but she exited the project and Grace replaced her.
The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox paved the way for Grace to work with Anna, who plays Knox’s real-life sister.
“I’ll say that Grace is f***ing amazing. That’s what I will say,” Knox exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2025. “I’m in a very, very privileged position as someone who is a subject of a story. Typically someone in my position — the subject — doesn’t get to be an executive producer of their own show.”
