“Horror hostess, bondage goddess, Charles Addams cartoon comes to life, Vampire was every first-generation fanboy's wet dream. Scott Poole takes us on an unforgettable ride through the overlapping underworlds of B&D magazines, Hollywood noir, and early political liberation movements that inspired actress Maila Nurmi to challenge a postwar culture bent on stifling women's choices, bodies, and desires.

“I can't imagine that anyone in Hollywood is sitting around trying to decide what actor is good or right or qualified for a role and is being denied a role because of their political views. I don't think that's the way Hollywood works.

“It was a pity that movies and live TV left New York for Hollywood. London theater, movies, television - until (Britain's) money ran out - were always better than ours since the city was the political capital of the country, as well as the artistic and literary one. In L.A. we've always been slightly sealed off from real life. It's no accident that two of our most interesting directors, Woody Allen and Bob Altman, are more or less settled in the real world.” WorldWellsTwoRealCountryPoliticalLeftInterestingCitiesNew YorkTelevisionTvsDirectorsHollywoodTheaterAccidentsLondonReal LifePityArtisticRanBritainReal WorldBobMost InterestingWoodyLive Tv Author:Gore Vidal
“During my career as a standup and actor, I realized it was very frustrating for me to get hired because Hollywood was hiring a different kind of brother, you know, and I was doing political humor... In order for me to really have a long career, I'm going to have to learn how to write and produce for myself... I had no idea I was really going to like it and I'm very fortunate to be successful. But the idea was to always eventually create something for myself. That was the idea from the beginning when I went into writing and producing.” KnowsWritingKindLongIdeasDifferentPoliticalOrderActorsCareersSuccessfulProduceBrotherHollywoodI RealizedNo IdeaFortunateBeing SuccessfulDifferent KindsFrustratingHiringPolitical HumorLong Careers Author:Larry Wilmore

“There were many generations of Latino people coming to this country, coming from difficult political or social situations in their own countries, and they worked very hard to have their kids go to universities. Well, those kids came out and they are now doctors and architects, or they are on the Supreme Court. That has a reflection in Hollywood. So, we are actually very proud that our characters are Latinos, and I think it's good for diversity and cultural interaction.” PeopleThinkingWellsCountryHardCharacterKidsPoliticalSocialDifficultSituationGenerationsProudDiversityReflectionDoctorsHollywoodCourtUniversitySupremeArchitectInteractionSupreme CourtLatino Author:Antonio Banderas

“Hollywood is still the cradle of many myths, including the one of eternal youth. I find it odd that the very notion of desire, when applied to a woman over 40, is turned into a pathology or a mockery in a number of films. But Hollywood is not the only place to blame, by far. This is just a rendition, possibly magnified by the power of movies, of a general state of things, social, cultural and political.” StillsStatesFilmPoliticalDesireSocialNumbersYouthEternalHollywoodBlameNotionIncludingMythOddCradleMockeryPathologyEternal Youth Author:Anne Fontaine

“There's been an amazing backlash for the last decade in America: political correctness. In many ways, I think that, while we've been remarkably violent in our media, there's been a real schizophrenia. In private, on the Internet, and on public-affairs shows or talk radio, we're way more explicit than we've ever been. But traditional Hollywood has been much more frightened than it ever was in the '70s about presenting things that could be perceived as politically incorrect.” ThinkingWayHas BeensRealShowsLastsAmericaPoliticalMediaInternetHollywoodAffairRadioDecadesViolentTraditionalFrightenedPolitical CorrectnessPresentingCorrectnessSchizophreniaExplicitBacklashPublic AffairsTalk Radio Author:Ivan Reitman
