The Stunning Transformation Of Molly Ringwald

"Ryan Murphy is the most powerful man in TV," The New Yorker wrote in 2018. If you haven't heard of him, we're going to go out on a limb here and guess that you've nevertheless seen or heard of at least one of the high-profile projects in which he's been a writer, director, or producer. These include "NipTuck," "Glee," "American Horror Story," "American Crime Story, and "Feud," not to mention the film adaptation of "Eat, Pray, Love," according to All American Speakers. Oh, and let's not forget the Netflix limited series, "Dahmer," which began dominating America's screen time just as soon as it dropped on September 21, 2022 — even as it polarizes critics (via Time). 

Murphy cast former teen star Molly Ringwald to play serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's stepmother, Shari Dahmer. And her performance has apparently pleased Murphy well enough to find a part for her in his next project, the second season of FX's anthology series, "Feud," according to Deadline. The latest iteration, "Feud: Capote's Women," will also feature Naomi Watts (who also appears in "Dahmer," as a news anchor), Diane Lane, Calista Flockhart, and Chloë Sevigny, among others. Ringwald will be playing the second wife of legendary talk show host Johnny Carson, Joanne Carson, who was a close friend of Truman Capote.
