Summary

In 2019, Felicity Huffman went from TV and film sets to jail after it was revealed that the Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actor was implicated in the college admissions scandal nicknamed “Operation Varsity Blues.” Along with other parents - like “Full House” star Lori Loughlin - Felicity paid a guy named Rick Singer thousands of dollars to bend the rules to help her daughter Sophia get into certain schools. Now - for the first time - Felicity is opening up about this chapter of her life, during which she ended up behind bars. And how she’s learned a hard lesson from the school of life.
