    • 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).

    Pretty Entertaining!
    Hollywood is a Ryan Murphy show that follows the lives of aspiring actors and filmmakers who will pretty much do anything to succeed in their dreams of making it big in Hollywood, it takes place in post-World War II Hollywood. I didn't really know what to expect from this but I gave it a chance because of all the good things I heard and I'm glad I did because it was a very well done series. It seems like anything Ryan Murphy does these days is a huge success! The stories are very diverse and interesting. Most of the bad reviews are because they say it isn't true...who cares? It's a tv show, not a documentary! It admits that it takes places in a revisionist Hollywood that is a pick me up series.

    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?
