What Is Linda Tanner’s Tie to Theranos in ‘The Dropout’?

Based on the ABC News podcast upon which The Dropout is based, Linda Tanner was not a lawyer for Theranos in real life. In the series, Linda is more of a composite of various legal team members that Theranos worked with over the years.

Michaela Watkins, the actress who plays the lawyer, told Comic Book Resources that she was “fascinated” by Linda Tanner, explaining that she thinks Linda believes “that the people [she] work[s] for and the people that [she] think[s] are impressive are as great as [she] want[s] them to be.”
