Creative Team's Passion for the Project
Elisabeth Moss, who also serves as a producer, spoke about her connection to the source material: "From the moment I received Araminta's novel, I couldn't put it down. It was such an electrifying read; I fell in love with it immediately."
She continued: "I've admired Kerry and her work as an actor and producer for many years and have been looking for something to work with her on and was so thrilled that she responded to the material when we sent it to her and Pilar at Simpson Street."
Emmy Award-winner Kerry Washington expressed similar enthusiasm: "I could not have been more thrilled to get this call from Elisabeth. I have been an immense fan of hers — both as a brilliant actor and groundbreaking producer — for years."
Washington added: "Elisabeth and Lindsey have impeccable taste, as evidenced by the way they have championed Araminta's gripping novel, and I can't think of a better person to bring this project to life on screen than the amazing Annie Weisman. Imperfect Women is exactly the type of exciting, complex, raw storytelling we strive to create at Simpson Street."
