Amanda Seyfried finally stakes her claim

In Netflix’s new drama “Mank,” directed by David Fincher and due Friday on Netflix, Amanda Seyfried plays Marion Davies, the 1920s and ’30s screen star better known today as the mistress of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. It’s a relationship that would be fictionalized for Orson Welles’ roman a clef “Citizen Kane,” and “Mank” chronicles that process, as screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) reminisces about the years he spent partying at Hearst’s San Simeon estate, a glittery Shangri-La where Davies became a confidante with whom he could share gossip and gin. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/28/movies/amanda-seyfried-mank.html
