Seyfried’s eerie likeness to Elizabeth Holmes is captured in the images, above and below, as she portrays the real-life figure alongside Andrews’ Sunny Balwani. The Dropout tells the story of Holmes, the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire who founded Theranos, a now-defunct health technology company.

Holmes came under fire when the accuracy of Theranos’s blood-testing technology came into question, leading to a major investigation. The Dropout is a tale of ambition and fame gone terribly wrong in the blink of an eye. Balwani was Holmes’ boyfriend and was also heavily involved with Theranos, leaving him under fire as well.
