Patti LuPone and Ryan Murphy preview Netflix's revisionist limited series Hollywood.
"Right, because they think we're old maids," she said."They think we're all dried up old things, but we're not! [Laughs.] Listen to me, 'We're not!'"."And she said, 'What? You've got to be kidding.' And I said, 'No, you are the lead.' She got very emotional because she hasn't really had a part like this—and she should have because she's that good," Murphy recalled.
LuPone said she was"thrilled" with everything she got to do as Avis."When he pitched it to me, it was just...they already had an idea of what they were going to do with this show. And I was an afterthought. I was doing, who is Ryan's right hand guy, sent a picture of me in costume to Ryan...And that's when Ryan asked the question, he said, 'Ask Patti what she's doing in September…I want to write a part for her in Hollywood.
"I think when you see the show, you see how good she is. And also, it was very interesting for her to play somebody who takes a risk, and in our business, so many times those people are women. I wrote that part because my whole career, I was never mentored by men. I was always mentored by women. It was the women in my life in power, who said, 'You know, you're kind of an oddball, but you got something and I'm gonna give you this money and we'll see.
"I just hope everybody watches it and can escape from reality for seven episodes and feel better from it," LuPone said.
