As you watch the eight episodes, you'll find it becomes less about their crimes and more about a very strained relationship between a daughter who wants to break free and the mother who won't let her. These layers make it very hard to hate Dee Dee or Gypsy outright as you watch The Act-and that's what makes it so fascinating. Gypsy was so fearful that if she went to the police, no one would believe her. But in the documentary, Dee Dee had paperwork in order to basically say Gypsy was incapacitated mentally and couldn't think for herself. "Yes, she did conspire to commit murder, and that is a crime. "Some people think Gypsy deserves no prison time, and some people think she deserves all the prison time in the world," King, who shaved her head for the role, tells Glamour. Joey King had a similar approach to playing Gypsy, by finding the logic in her character's decision to murder her own mother.
