Who Is Verity Crawford?
For those who haven’t read Verity yet (or need a refresher), Verity Crawford is a famous author who, after a tragic accident, is left unable to complete her book series.
Lowen Ashleigh (played by Dakota Johnson) is hired to finish Verity’s manuscripts, but as she begins digging through Verity’s notes, she stumbles upon a chilling autobiography that reveals shocking secrets about Verity, her marriage, and her family.
The character of Verity is both vulnerable and manipulative, making her one of Hoover’s most intriguing and haunting creations.
Bringing her to life on screen requires an actress with depth, range, and the ability to toe the line between sympathetic and sinister—which is why Hathaway’s casting is so exciting.
