This week on Bookmarked, Danielle Robay dives under the covers with Amanda Seyfried and Paul Feig to unravel the deliciously twisty adaptation of Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid. From childhood reading memories to mapping the psychology of a woman who’s playing a woman, Amanda shares how she tapped into fear, rage, and complicated motherhood to build one of her most surprising roles yet. Paul reveals how he crafted tension, why he cut a shocking original opening, and what makes this story such a wild ride for audiences. Expect big laughs, big feelings, red herrings galore, and a conversation that’s as layered as the characters themselves.
