Ryan Murphy's Hollywood is a love letter to a time and place and people whom he's been so moved by in his life.
created by Murphy and Ian Brennan follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers -- Jack , Raymond , Archie , Camille and Claire -- trying to make it during the Golden Age of Tinseltown, no matter the costs or setbacks they face.
But since this is Murphy’s version of history, Hollywood gets a rewrite. “I was always just so sad about how they were treated and the injustice of their situation,” he tells ET about growing up on the films and personalities of that era and becoming fascinated with the likes of Hudson, McDaniel and Wong.
To Murphy, there was a sense of real shame that came with people trying to project something that they weren’t and fitting into Tinseltown’s very limiting mold of success, which manifested into the main crux of the show: “What if you could be who you were unapologetically and you could have done it back then? How would that have changed the world, and does it?” he muses.
The end result is a love letter to a time and place and the people whom Murphy has always been so moved by in his life. Not only do Hudson, McDaniel and Wong get a chance at a happy ending, but an industry plagued by ageism, homophobia, misogyny and racism has the opportunity to set a new course for itself.While the nature of the series may seem idealistic, it’s not blindly ignorant of Hollywood’s many systemic issues that are still a problem today.
And now that Murphy is a six-time Emmy-winning writer, director and producer, with a proven track record of hits and a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix, he’s very much on the other side of the desk. “For better or for worse, I am somebody who has the power to get things made now,” he says, admitting that he’s lucky enough to be “in this rare position where I get to write and create, and then people say yes to things.
