The new RyanMurphy series revises Hollywood history because Netflix told him: 'We want to do something more uplifting'
under your pact with the streamer. Why was Netflix the right place this show?
Yes. That’s the world that we live in now and I am completely appreciative of that. We had a couple of really great intimacy coaches. All of the scenes with the actors were very talked about, discussed and filmed on closed sets. And then in the case of the George Cukor pool party scene — where we literally, at one point, had 100 people walking around naked — at first, you were shocked by it and then it was like, "Oh, just another day at the office.
Even in the post-#MeToo era, the harassment and abuse experienced by gay actors goes under-addressed. What do you hope will come by exposing what happened in this time period through the Henry Willson storyline, and can you talk about the hopeful ending that you rewrote for him? When I was a kid, I was just so obsessed with Rock Hudson because my grandmother who raised me — and I don’t even know how she knew this, but — in Indiana in the ‘70s, she literally said to me once when we were watching, "You know that Rock Hudson is a poof in real life, right?" I was like, "What do you mean?" And she said, "He likes the guys." I remember I was very young, about 7.
There would have been things for me and Janet Mock to watch when we were growing up to say, "Oh, there I am. I see myself here." I think it would have changed a lot of the social fabric of this country because it’s such a powerful thing when you feel represented. People didn’t greenlight those movies for a long time because they didn’t think that they could make money. So I think it would have been a very different world.
I was really interested in this year of 1948 because it had the most beautiful set I think of any year. Even as a kid I was always obsessed with that sort of tiered-wedding cake stage with all the Oscars and I was excited to recreate that. And I will tell you that the tears that you see being shed in that episode for Rock Hudson and Anna May Wong and Hattie McDaniel — the actors were all really crying. Those were usually the first takes. The crew was crying.
