Elle Fanning opens an OnlyFans in her new series, 'Margo has money problems'

BarcelonaAt 28 years old, Elle Fanning is in a splendid moment of her professional career. This year she has been nominated for best supporting actress for The Worst Person in the World, she will be one of the protagonists of the prequel to The Hunger Games and this week she premieres a new series entirely designed for her to shine. In Margo has money problems, which arrives this Wednesday on AppleTV, she plays a young university student who gets pregnant after having relations with her professor, who is older and married. The girl decides to keep the baby, but this implies dropping out of school and financially supporting her new, small family. Her world will open up when she discovers OnlyFans, where she will create a profile and earn money by rating her followers' penises.

The series is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Rufi Thorpe, which has been quite successful in the United States. The person in charge of the television adaptation is David E. Kelly, one of the great television producers in the United States (Ally McBeal, Big Little Lies) and husband of Michelle Pfeiffer, who also appears in the series. In fact, the actress has a fundamental role: she plays Shyanne, Margo's mother. She also had her daughter very young and has made a living in part thanks to her physical appearance, as she was a waitress at Hooters for many years, a fast-food chain that stands out for hiring attractive and scantily clad waitresses. Margo's father, Jinx, is a former professional wrestler who reappears after going through a detoxification process. Surprisingly, the man, played by Nick Offerman, turns out to be a wonderful babysitter for his newborn grandson. Besides Fanning and Pfeiffer, the other female face of this family dramedy is Nicole Kidman, who plays a wrestler friend of Jinx who has become a lawyer.

Before getting pregnant, Margo has literary aspirations. Once she is a mother and opens her OnlyFans account, she discovers that in this environment she can also apply her talent for writing. She will create an alter ego, HungryGhost, to which she will give her own personality and wardrobe. "When she creates HungryGhost, her dreams come true again, or at least there is a light and a new spark," Fanning explained during the series presentation. Besides being the protagonist, she is also a producer of the series alongside her sister, the also actress Dakota Fanning.

Although her career has been more focused on cinema, Fanning has had several relevant roles in television. The series that has brought her the most joy is The Great, a ripped biography of Catherine the Great. For this production, which can be found on Netflix, she was nominated three times for a Golden Globe and once for an Emmy.
