Here's everything we know about Ryan Murphy's Hollywood.
Hudson, with his square jaw and beefcake build, emerged as a major leading man in the 1950s, winning polls as it's most popular by the end of the decade. Though, through it all he was forced to hide his homosexuality.
Before all of that, though, Hudson was just a kid named Roy Harold Scherer Jr. who had moved to Southern California after a stint in the Navy to live with his biological father and chase stardom. He wasn't particularly successful at first, and even worked as a truck driver, but eventually caught a break when he sent his picture to talent agent Willson.
Willson has worked and schmoozed his way through Hollywood at first as a gossip writer and then as a talent scout. He had helped to launch the career of Lana Turner, but became widely known for shepherding the career of young actors with "beefcake" appeal. Of course, many of his clients were secretly gay, bisexual or otherwise "heteroflexible," and of whom Willson exploited for sexual favors.
If you're wondering, Picking has the requisite beefcake build and square jaw necessary to play Hudson.may have alluded to themes similar to Hudson and Willson's story. It was revealed that Cody Fern's character had been exploited by a lecherous gay porn Svengali, but still had his sites set on mainstream stardom. Whether that was an intentional tell or not remains to be seen.
It's also unclear how much Hudson and Willson will figure into the series. As we all know by now, Murphy loves to include interludes and juicy side-plots into his series. Though, we assume that the inclusion of at least some real life characters in the show only opens up the possibility to more down the line as well. Are we on a crash course towards Ryan Murphy's take on Marilyn Monroe in future seasons? Time will only tell.
