That's why I'm so candid in this documentary.Mommy Dead and Dearest is a 2017 HBO documentary that focuses on Dee Dee Blanchard's murder, and the history of abuse that preceded it.The documentary was directed by Erin Lee Car, who also directed the HBO documentary Thought Crimes; The Case of the Cannibal Cop.Blanchard-Anderson said that her first fiancé, Ken, wrote to her in prison after watching the film, and reflected on it in her ebook.There had been short documentaries, like HBO's 'Mommy Dead and Dearest,' which I had appeared in; news articles, podcasts, sleezy clickbait, she wrote. These were snippets of my story that entertained people for the short term, but didn't impact them.Hulu's drama series stars Patricia Arquette as Dee Dee Blanchard, and Joey King as Blanchard-Anderson. Chloe Sevigny and Anna-Sophia Robb also appear in the series as the Blanchards' concerned neighbors, who don't appear to have real-life counterparts.The series portrays the events of Blanchard-Anderson and her mother's lives right up until, and immediately after, the murder, including Blanchard-Anderson's intense romance with Nicholas Godejohn.Blanchard-Anderson wrote in her ebook Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom that she still hasn't seen The Act, which aired while she was still in prison.

Marcia Gay Harden plays the Dee Dee-inspired character Camile, a single mother caring for her seemingly-terminally-ill daughter Esme.Blanchard-Anderson doesn't appear to have discussed the Lifetime film in her e-book or otherwise, but the author noted in Released that she doesn't take her increased media exposure lightly.I'm going to stay steady on the path I'm on. Make the exposure count toward a bigger, more serious career. A career in advocacy. In awareness. In positive change, Blanchard-Anderson wrote. She continued: My nightmares are being replaced with aspirational daydreams of starting my own organization, spreading knowledge and awareness about Munchausen by proxy, and mentoring others who have experienced trauma and abuse.
