    • Trivia
      Holland Taylor sent costume designers Lou Eyrich and Sarah Evelyn photographs of her mother from the '30s and '40s to help with research. They ended up replicating some of the items she wore for Taylor's character, Miss Kincaid.
    • Goofs
      Despite what this series purports, Henry Willson was never elevated to film producer. The closest he came was Rock Hudson, at the peak of his stardom, awarding Willson a token associate producer credit on Come September (1961).

    What went wrong?
    When this series started, I was absolutely captivated. Hollywood was just as difficult a nut to crack as I had imagined, and it grabbed my interest. But then it started going wrong, and by the time we got to the end and the story of Meg was grabbing all the Oscars, I was gagging with disbelief. I felt let down and disappointed. If there had been some let downs, some false starts, it would have felt more like real life, but this was like watching Cinderella with a grown up audience. Disappointing, even Jim Parsons who was so good at beginning, seemed to lose interest by the end. I can't say I blamed him.

    FAQ5

    • Is this based on Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood ? The photos of Darren Criss at gas station with Dylan McDermott just seems like something described in documentary.
    • Why are the using the wrong cigarettes? Filtered cigarettes were introduced in the mid-late 50's, and this series is supposed to be set in the late 40's?
    • In the time this series is set, people smoked all the time and everywhere. Not seeing this in the series. Is this the answer to the groups demanding less cigarettes on Netflix?
