In an interview with People while attending The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox premiere at the New York Historical Society in New York City, Knox opened up about the series and Grace Van Patten's portrayal. "I felt like I could finally grieve the young person that I was," she said. "Someone recently said that what happened is someone stole my sparkle. According to Knox, she had "chills" seeing the "incredible" Van Patten's "ability to just take on the whimsy but the gravitas of this role." And she finally honors that young person that I was and the person I am today," she continued.
