Dollanganger movie series6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Unconventional for the time, Olivia works with her father (Harry Hamlin) and is committed to maintaining her independence. Way before she became a vicious and fiercely religious woman that locked away her grandchildren in an attic, she was just Olivia Winfield (Jemima Rooper). Cutthroat grandmother, Olivia Foxworth, is reciting her last will and testament in a revealing narration that will take us all the way back to the very beginning-thus the name Flowers in the Attic: The Origin. Over four feature-length episodes, viewers are plunged into a dastardly universe of rape, poison, murder, incest, faux-pregnancies, backstabbing, and drama, drama, drama. The network previously has adapted many Andrews stories, including the entire Dollanganger saga, and with Flowers in the Attic: The Origin, it welcomes viewers back to the insanity and depravity of the Foxworth family.Ī gothic, moody opening credits sequence sets the stage for everything to follow. Adapting Andrews’ prequel novel to her Dollanganger series, Garden of Shadows ghostwritten by Andrew Neiderman, Lifetime’s new miniseries is trashy, shocking, propulsive, and just plain fun. I have to say that I have never been happier to open up the gates of Foxworth Hall once more to revisit this world. Ask any given person about their knowledge of Andrews, and I have no doubt in my mind that the majority would name Flowers in the Attic as her most well-known work. As such, her body of work pretty much speaks for itself. Andrews is an absolutely iconic figure in literature whether one loves her or hates her. ![]()
