Amanda Righetti joins Pop Culture Unplugged with Elias to discuss her role as Young Dorothy in the highly anticipated crime drama Scarpetta.
In this episode, Amanda shares how she landed the role, why auditioning in person made a difference, and how she studied Jamie Lee Curtis’ performance to bring continuity to the character. She also dives into Dorothy’s wild personality, the complicated family dynamics with Kay, and why the show’s dual timeline storytelling sets it apart from traditional procedurals.
Based on the bestselling novels by Patricia Cornwell, Scarpetta blends crime, suspense, and emotional drama — and Amanda explains what makes the series so cinematic and engaging.
We also talk about:• Dorothy’s misunderstood nature and emotional layers• The intense tension between Dorothy and Kay• Behind-the-scenes preparation for the role• Amanda’s early career comparisons to The O.C.• What’s next, including Season 2 of Scarpetta
