TatzRules Yay they actually made Queen Latifa as Hattie McDaniel say that if she had tried harder the day of the oscars, things would’ve been different. And they did push the idea that a movie with a man African American female lead would have pushed down racism. But that’s just naive. Also Anna May Wong always expressed her discontent about always having to play Asian stereotypes. But sadly the people that held the power were white men and she couldn’t do anything about it. I get that this series was a wish fulfillment but it was a rather shallow assessment of such a complicated matter. Here the characters just got whatever they wanted, there was no real struggle, no hardship. It was hardly compelling.

And I don't even think that in the ending racism, sexism, or homophobia is "ended" just that the studio from there on out has much more representation and it inspired people.

Stella Waldvogel i mean... I don't think anyone with half a brain thinks a gay inter-racial couple would be excepted in the 1940s. My point is that they took their names (rock Hudson/Anna may wong) but didn't tell their story. The drama would have been so much more powerful if it started of happy (like it did) but got darker and more depressing as we saw what the real Hollywood was like.

Liked the show for what it was but I highly doubt that any of the misery caused by the real Hollywood found "justice", just because a fictional show tells us. Rather I'm afarid that a few years from now the show's gonna be used as an argumentative loophole instead of facing real progress.

Is Netflix's Hollywood available on dvd?

Dylan McDermott was the stand out for me. He better get an Emmy nod.

This TV series shows us what can happen if group of people gather together and fight for what is right. Many things could be different is someone would think with heart and do not think about money

I absolutely devoured 'Hollywood' (Netflix 2020 in Australia). I binged the entire 7 episodes in one day! Wouldn't it be great if there was a sequel?

This a creative way to think in a better past with opportunities for everyone, a pity it hasn't happened.

It’s a bloody good watch I’m watching it for the second time. What ifs? yet you can’t help but be in the moment while watching this series.

This "Hollywood" was a fun show, even though is was most fictional. Can't wait for "Hollywood 2". Maybe show a different side of Hollywood later in years. Like Mommy Dearest...WOW !

I love that both Ryan Murphy and Quentin Tarantino use revisionism to rewrite history 🤍

I had thought Anna Mae Wong got a supporting part in The Good Earth. Perhaps she was offered but refused it. Hattie McDaniel wasn't able to attend the premier of Gone With The Wind in atlanta GA for the same reason as in California she was seated in the lobby of the Academy Awards theatre. She had the wrong color skin. What a great lady!

Are there any videos showing Henry Willson? I knew Henry very well...he was a customer of mine when I was the bartender in what was the Windjammer up on the Sunset Strip...it is now the Rainbow Bar & Grill. He spent many days and nights in the Windjammer on is phone and drinking at my bar in the evenings having his usual Grand Manier in a snifter and he somehow always managed to drive home without having an accident. One night he had me follow him home, and well...spend the night - at his house...which I did.

Why doesn’t the Latinx community exist in Murphy’s stories?

Oooh just imagine a season in AHS where they explore Latinx folklore! There’s A LOT of messed up stuff within Latin-American legends, lore, myth, and horror. Not as bizarre as Japanese...but worthy of exploring imo
