You should read the article I posted on fact checking. Surprised no one read it so far. It's a fascinating article about their true history and producer Ryan Murphy's view on what inspired him to make it. I too am very sad it ended. It was a delicious hot fudge sundae with whip cream, 'nuts' and the finale was the cherry on top. The hallucination scene of Joan, drinking and frolicking with her past, Bette, Hedda Hopper and Jack Warner was just sheer brilliance. I was blown away by that scene and finally felt sorry for Joan. Jessica Lange's performance was scintillating. Perfection.

Can you please send me the link to your article?

feel free to comment on my thread. Scroll down on the Feud blog here. It's there.

Thanks so much!!

I, too, am sad to see it go. Top notch quality production. I feel wistful in the wake of its end.

It'd be great if Murphy would make more mini series of old Hollywood. Like a behind the scenes about the lead-up and production of The Wizard of Oz or a Chaplan bio.

That would be awesome. Or look into more old Hollywood feuds.

I was fortunate to have worked at MGM in the late '80s and promoted the 50th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz on video. I wrote the back blurb on the package. There is an excellent book about the entire history and behind the scenes. "The Making of the Wizard of Oz" by Aljean Harmetz. I got to meet Buddy Ebsen, the original Tin Man before he was poisoned by the lead in the silver paint and Jack Haley took over. Judy Garland was just 16. They put a prosthetic on her nose to make it straight. Most of the yellow brick road was made out of wood. I saw the remaining 15 feet of yellow brick on sound stage 27 before it was ripped out by Kirk Kirkorian when he corporate raided the studio and sold it for parts. Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch, was paid next to nothing while Billy Burke, the beautiful good witch, got 3 times as much for just a few minutes of screen time.

How very cool that you experienced these things. Sounds like a perfect situation for a mini series. I heard that they optioned Shirley Temple before Garland.

Also wouldn't mind a series about the studio writers during the "Road to ..." era.

I know that Shirley Temple was definitely considered before Judy Garland. I am a huge Temple fan, but I don't believe she was right for the part. Judy was the perfect choice.
