Uncovering the Truth: The Finale of 'Love & Death'

Director and executive producer Lesli Linka Glatter was drawn to the story of Candy Montgomery in Love & Death because it was character-driven and felt stranger than fiction. She and writer David E. Kelley worked together for the first time on the project, and it was important to them to bring authenticity to the true story. Elizabeth Olsen was the first choice for the role of Candy, and Lesli praised her ability to let viewers in behind her eyes and explore the human condition. The creators also wanted to flesh out all of the characters and their relationships, and the first scenes filmed were the big church, picnic, and choir moments to bond the cast.
