The Golden Age of Hollywood has become the stuff of legend…and a new series from Ryan Murphy.
Hollywood casts up-and-comer David Corenswet (of The Politician) as Jack, a World War II veteran and aspiring actor who comes to Tinseltown in search of a career. His path immediately crosses with Ernie (Dylan McDermott), a pimp that operates an all-male brothel out of a gas station, and Avis (Patti LuPone), the wife of a studio magnate with a little too much time on her hands. Needless to say, sexy situations and star run-ins ensue as Jack tries to make it in Hollywood…while making it for a living.

We scored time with series stars Corenswet, McDermott and LuPone to chat about their characters, the show, and sex in the Golden Age. Hollywood lands on Netflix May 1.
How about we take this to the next level?

I wish it was a better show. It looks gorgeous but the historical distortions are through the roof. I know it’s supposed to be partly a fantasy but it just doesn’t work the way it could.

A wonderful show. I binged watched it over the weekend..well really Friday and Saturday. The actors and the acting were outstanding. I think it will do well, come awards season.

That was a fun interview. I am loving the show so far.

It is a REALLY fabulous show… purposely veers off into the fantasy of ‘what if Hollywood was not racist, homophobic etc’… shows what it could have been

I love that La PuPone just keeps eating all through the interview.

It starts off a bit too Gay in your face but mellows to be inclusive. I’m halfway through it and now loving it. You fall in love with characters, I can’t wait to finish watching. I Also Recommend Amazon’s “Upload” – Robbie Amell’s delicious.

Can’t stand it a piece of shit. Good art direction cant fix a dreadful slow paced script. Couldn’t get past 5 min of 2nd episode– I tried. Not worth the hype type or space.

It’s the use of Rock Hudson’s name that I didn’t like. Cheap shot. In this show it’s certainly not representative of Rock the magnificent movie star. I just wish they’d made up a name like they did for many of the other characters. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it and devoured the whole series in one non-stop duvet fest.
