Happy Face Interview with Annaleigh Ashford and Khiyla Aynne (Paramount+)
Description
On episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by Annaleigh Ashford and Khiyla Aynne to discuss their original drama series HAPPY FACE. The series is inspired by the true-life story of Melissa G. Moore; the critically acclaimed Happy Face podcast from iHeartPodcasts and Moore; and the autobiography Shattered Silence, written by Moore with M. Bridget Cook. Jumping off from Moore’s true-life story, the Paramount+ Original Series follows Melissa (Ashford) and her incarcerated father, known as the Happy Face Killer (Dennis Quaid). After decades of no contact, he finally finds a way to force himself back into his daughter’s life. In a race against the clock, Melissa must find out if an innocent man is going to be put to death for a crime her father committed. Throughout, she discovers the impact her father had on his victims’ families and must face a reckoning of her own identity. Happy Face is now streaming on Paramount+ with new episodes weekly.
