More than 20 years ago, a precocious teenage girl made a surprising request of Margaret Atwood. She’d just read “Alias Grace” and found herself entranced by the true story of Grace Marks, a 19th-century Irish immigrant and servant who became a celebrity “murderess” in Toronto. So she sent the novelist a letter seeking the movie rights. The correspondent was Sarah Polley. A Canadian child star from “Road to Avonlea,” she was years away from becoming a screenwriter and director. @therealmargaretatwood declined. Obviously. “She was 17!” she said. Now, at 38, #SarahPolley is the writer and a producer of a 6-part mini-series adaptation of the novel, which comes out on @netflix on next week. “Alias Grace” arrives at a time of peak #Atwood. @hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” recently became the first streaming-service show to win an Emmy for best drama. And as the stormy political climate continues to churn in the U.S., the Canadian writer’s 2 decades-old novels have landed like contemporary critiques. “‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ offers us a window into a possible future when women’s rights are eroded,” Sarah said. “‘Alias Grace’ offers a look at what it was like before women had any rights. To look back and forward is very important at this moment when women’s rights are incredibly precarious and fragile.” @ian_patterson photographed #MargaretAtwood with Sarah Polley in Toronto.
