Dying for Sex stars Michelle Williams as Molly, a terminally ill woman who leaves her marriage to embrace her sexuality. Inspired by real-life experiences of Molly Kochan, the series blends humor and poignancy as it explores her adventures with various partners. Kochan's best friend, Nikki, played by Jenny Slate, embodies the emotional core of the story. Kochan, who documented her journey through a podcast and Instagram, emphasized the complex relationship between disease, intimacy, and personal fulfillment prior to her passing in 2019. The series aims to honor her legacy.
She left her marriage, but said on Dying for Sex that her ex remained one of her "best friends."
Intimacy is a really important part of being human, and disease and illness makes it very difficult for you to want to explore intimacy.
She very much wanted to make her mark on this world, helping to highlight her authentic experiences.
Watching Williams and Slate depict Kochan's experience captures the bittersweet essence of her journey.
