If you have seen the trailer for I Am the Night and for some reason, are not immediately inspired to watch when you see Chris Pine's face, you might change your mind when you hear the wild true story behind the series. Prepare to be legitimately shook. I Am the Night is partially based on the very true story of Fauna Hodel, a woman who decides to find her birth family when she discovers that she was given away as a baby. Fauna's story was first told in her autobiography, One Day She'll Darken. Although Fauna is credited as a writer in the miniseries, she sadly passed away in 2017, after losing her battle with breast cancer. Here's what you should know about the real-life events before watching I Am the Night. FAUNA'S REAL STORY Fauna Hodel was born August 1, 1951 in San Francisco. Her mother, Tamar, was 16-years-old at the time, and on the birth certificate, listed Fauna's father as "unnamed Negro." According to Fauna's website, the Hodel family gave baby Fauna to Jimmie Lee, a young black woman who worked at a casino in Nevada. Tamar wanted Fauna to be raised by a black family, because she felt that she would be surrounded with more love. As a result, Fauna grew up believing that she was biracial. During the civil rights movement, Fauna did not feel like she belonged to either race, which inspired her to find her biological mother for answers. When Fauna sets out to learn about her history, she discovers that there may be some extremely disturbing family secrets. Plot spoiler: It's totally related to the Black Dahlia murder.
