Elisabeth Moss, known for her roles in popular TV series such as “Mad Men” and “The Handmaid’s Tale,” is starring in a gripping new thriller. Apple TV’s adaptation of Araminta Hall’s novel “Imperfect Women” focuses on the aftermath of a woman’s murder, leaving her close friends Mary (played by Elisabeth Moss) and Eleanor (portrayed by Kerry Washington) devastated.
During the investigation, Mary and Eleanor uncover dark secrets that their deceased friend Nancy (played by Kate Mara) had kept hidden. As viewers immerse themselves in the world of “Imperfect Women,” they are intrigued by Elisabeth Moss, a seasoned actress with a track record of successful shows.
Elisabeth Moss gained international recognition back in 2007 with her role in the acclaimed period drama “Mad Men.” Interestingly, she has a familial connection to ABBA legend Bjorn Ulvaeus through her Swedish maternal lineage. Moss’s great-grandmother and Bjorn’s maternal grandmother were siblings, establishing a distant relationship between the two stars.
Although Moss is best known for her portrayal of June Osborne in the award-winning series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” her journey to accepting the role was initially met with hesitation. However, after learning about potential replacements, Moss was determined to take on the iconic character, emphasizing her commitment to the role.
In her personal life, Moss was briefly married to actor Fred Armisen, whom she met during their involvement in “Saturday Night Live.” Reflecting on the marriage, Moss described it as a challenging experience but acknowledged that it ultimately led to positive growth.
In 2024, Moss announced her pregnancy on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and welcomed her first child in 2025 without revealing details about the child’s gender or the father’s identity. Despite the demands of motherhood, Moss continued her acting career, filming “Imperfect Women” shortly after giving birth.
Alongside her current project, Moss is involved in other upcoming ventures, including a crime thriller titled “Conviction” and the comedy-drama “Last Night at the Lobster.” She is also set to portray former Congresswoman Katie Hill in the TV biopic “She Will Rise.”
“Imperfect Women” is now streaming on Apple TV, offering viewers a captivating narrative brought to life by Elisabeth Moss’s compelling performance.
