Amanda Seyfried’s Life in the Hudson Valley
The actress has been open about her home and farm in Upstate, New York.
In 2017, Seyfried invited Vogue to her house for a home tour where they write “Natural and authentic in character, Amanda Seyfried’s newly renovated Catskills house is a tribute to its roots and a nod to its environment.”
Seyfried said in an interview with Forbes “I moved upstate long before I had a family,” adding “Staying here was the best decision for privacy, peace and nature. It offers a more balanced life than the city does.”
For her next project Seyfried will star as Ann Lee in the Testament of Ann Lee. The film tells the true story of Ann Lee, the founder of the Shaker movement in the 18th-century.
The Shaker movement was a “radical religious sect emphasizing gender equality, communal living and celibacy” according to Wikipedia. Lee’s followers saw her as the female Christ.
The Testament of Ann Lee is in theaters now.
