***Spoiler alert for a few plot lines and scenes from the first two episodes of “Hollywood.”

Netflix hosted a sneak peek of Ryan Murphy’s “Hollywood,” a seven-episode series for Netflix, on Sunday night at the San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood.

Without giving away too many spoilers, the show takes place in post-WWII Hollywood. David Corenswet stars as Jack, an aspiring actor who becomes a call boy in a prostitution ring run by a slimy gas station owner (Dylan McDermott).

“I would say that it is almost a revisionist history of Hollywood,” Laura Harrier, who plays a Dorothy Dandridge-like character dating an aspiring director (Darren Criss), told Variety. “I love to think about what the world could have looked like had we been able to have representation of women, of people of color, of people of the LGBTQ community at the beginning of Hollywood. How would movies and TV look different? How would the world look different?”

How that retelling of Hollywood history plays out is yet to be seen, but the show also features Tony-nominated Jeremy Pope as Archie, a gay screenwriter who becomes romantically involved with one of his call boy customers, a still-unknown Rock Hudson (Jake Picking). Fictionalized versions of Hudson and other Hollywood idols appear on the show.

“Archie is fearless,” Pope said. “He is going to make things happen. He is not ashamed of who he is and what he has to do to get there, which is what I love about him. He is trying to occupy a space in the industry that is not built for him.”

Pope first met with creator Murphy in June the day before the Tony Awards, where the actor was nominated twice for his work in “Choir Boy” and “Ain’t Too Proud — The Life and Times of the Temptations.” “There was no script,” Pope told Variety. “All I knew was ‘Archie, a writer,’ but Ryan asked me to trust him and go on this journey with him, and here we are at the first screening.”

The chemistry between Pope and Picking is undeniably strong. “I looked at Jeremy in the eye and we were both like, ‘We’re going to do this.’ That was exciting for me,” said Picking, who added that there was an intimacy coordinator on set. “I saw the spark in Jeremy’s eyes and I knew he was committed. That’s what made everything so enthralling.”

Corenswet is seen in some of “Hollywood’s” most compromising–and naked–positions, including an unforgettable scene with Patti LuPone, who plays a former silent movie star now married to a studio boss. “The first half of the scene I get to sit there and listen to her deliver this amazing monologue and then she gets to tell me to undress,” he said. “It’s the most uncomfortable moment, getting undressed down to your tighty-whities in front of Patti LuPone!”

Murphy was unable to make the screening due to working on the movie adaptation of the Broadway musical “The Prom,” also for Netflix.

Others from the show were in attendance were producers Ian Brennan, Alexis Martin Woodall and Janet Mock and cast members Maude Apatow, Michelle Krusiec and Mira Sorvino. The guest list included Judd Apatow, Laverne Cox, Antoni Porowski, Adam Shankman, Annie Starke, EJ Johnson, Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, Rumer Willis and Zelda Williams.

“Hollywood” premieres on Netflix on May 1.

Gwendolyn Brooks

Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks (June 7, 1917 – December 3, 2000) was an American poet, author, and teacher. She was the recipient of many awards for her work and influence; including the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry on May 1, 1950, making her the first African American woman to receive that award.

Throughout her career Brooks received many more honors. She was appointed Poet Laureate of Illinois in 1968, a position held until her death, and Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress in 1985.

Early life

Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks was born on June 7, 1917, in Topeka, Kansas, and died on December 3, 2000 in Chicago, IL. She was the first child of David Anderson Brooks and Keziah (Wims) Brooks. Her father was a janitor for a music company who had hoped to pursue a career as a doctor but sacrificed that aspiration to get married and raise a family. Her mother was a school teacher as well as a concert pianist trained in classical music. Family lore held that her paternal grandfather had escaped slavery to join the Union forces during the American Civil War.

When Brooks was six weeks old, her family moved to Chicago during the Great Migration; from then on, Chicago remained her home. According to biographer Kenny Jackson Williams, Brooks first attended a prestigious integrated high school in the city with a predominantly white student body, Hyde Park High School, transferred to the all-black Wendell Phillips High School, and then moved to the integrated Englewood High School. After completing high school, she graduated in 1936 from Wilson Junior College, now known as Kennedy-King College. Due to the social dynamics of the various schools, in conjunction with time period in which she attended them, Brooks faced racial injustice that over time contributed to her understanding of the prejudice and bias in established systems and dominant institutions in her own surroundings as well as ever relevant mindset of the country.

Brooks began writing at an early age and her mother encouraged her saying, ''You are going to be the lady Paul Laurence Dunbar."

After these early educational experiences, Brooks never pursued a four-year degree because she knew she wanted to be a writer and considered it unnecessary. "I am not a scholar," she later said. "I'm just a writer who loves to write and will always write." She worked as a typist to support herself while she pursued her career.

She would closely identify with Chicago for the rest of her life. In a 1994 interview, she remarked on this,

"(L)iving in the city, I wrote differently than I would have if I had been raised in Topeka, KS...I am an organic Chicagoan. Living there has given me a multiplicity of characters to aspire for. I hope to live there the rest of my days. That's my headquarters.

Career

Writing

Brooks published her first poem, "Eventide", in a children's magazine, American Childhood, when she was 13 years old. By the age of sixteen she had already written and published approximately seventy-five poems. She received commendations on her poetic work and encouragement from James Weldon Johnson and later, Langston Hughes, both well-known writers with whom she kept communication with and whose readings she attended in Chicago. At seventeen, she started submitting her work to "Lights and Shadows," the poetry column of the Chicago Defender, an African-American newspaper. Her poems, many published while she attended Wilson Junior College, ranged in style from traditional ballads and sonnets to poems using blues rhythms in free verse.

Her characters were often drawn from the inner city life that Brooks knew well. She said, "I lived in a small second-floor apartment at the corner, and I could look first on one side and then the other. There was my material."

By 1941, Brooks was taking part in poetry workshops. A particularly influential one was organized by Inez Cunningham Stark, an affluent white woman with a strong literary background. Stark offered writing workshops to African-Americans on Chicago's South Side, which Brooks attended. It was here she gained momentum in finding her voice and a deeper knowledge of the techniques of her predecessors. Renowned poet Langston Hughes stopped by the workshop and heard Brooks read "The Ballad of Pearl May Lee." Brooks continued to work diligently at her writing and growing the community of artists and writers around her as her poetry began to be taken more seriously. She and her husband frequently threw parties at their apartment at 623 E. 63rd Street and it was in the kitchenette of that apartment that Brooks hosted a party for her friend and mentor Langston Hughes. Once he unexpectedly dropped in and famously shared a meal of mustard greens, ham hocks, and candied sweet potatoes with Brooks and her husband Henry Blakely.

Brooks' published her first book of poetry, A Street in Bronzeville (1945), with Harper and Row, after strong show of support to the publisher from author Richard Wright. He said to the editors who solicited his opinion on Brooks' work:

"There is no self-pity here, not a striving for effects. She takes hold of reality as it is and renders it faithfully.... She easily catches the pathos of petty destinies; the whimper of the wounded; the tiny accidents that plague the lives of the desperately poor, and the problem of color prejudice among Negroes."

The book earned instant critical acclaim for its authentic and textured portraits of life in Bronzeville. Brooks later said it was a glowing review by Paul Engle in the Chicago Tribune that "initiated My Reputation." Engle stated that Brooks' poems were no more "Negro poetry" than Robert Frost's work was "white poetry." Brooks received her first Guggenheim Fellowship in 1946 and was included as one of the “Ten Young Women of the Year” in Mademoiselle magazine.

In 1953, Brooks published her first and only narrative book, a novella titled Maud Martha, which in a series of thirty-four small vignettes, follows the life of a black woman named Maud Martha in detail as she moved about life from childhood to adulthood. It tells the story of "a woman with doubts about herself and where and how she fits into the world. Maud's concern is not so much that she is inferior but that she is perceived as being ugly," states author Harry B. Shaw in his book, Gwendolyn Brooks. Maud suffers prejudice and discrimination not only from white individuals but also from black individuals who have lighter skin tones than hers, something that is direct reference to Brooks' personal experience. Eventually, Maud stands up for herself by turning her back on a patronizing and racist store clerk. "The book is ... about the triumph of the lowly," Shaw comments.

In 1967, the year of Hughes' death, Brooks attended the Second Black Writers' Conference at Nashville's Fisk University. Here, according to one version of events, she met activists and artists such as Imamu Amiri Baraka, Don L. Lee and others who exposed her to new black cultural nationalism. Recent studies argue that she had been involved in leftist politics in Chicago for many years and, under the pressures of McCarthyism, adopted a black nationalist posture as a means of distancing herself from her prior political connections. Brooks' experience at the conference inspired many of her subsequent literary activities. She taught creative writing to some of Chicago's Blackstone Rangers, otherwise a violent criminal gang. In 1968 she published one of her most famous poems, In the Mecca, a long poem about a mother's search for her lost child in a Chicago apartment building. The poem was nominated for the National Book Award for poetry.

Brooks' second book of poetry, Annie Allen (1950), focused on the life and experiences of a young Black girl as she grew into womanhood in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago. The book was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry; she also was awarded Poetry magazine's Eunice Tietjens Prize.

Her autobiographical Report From Part One, including reminiscences, interviews, photographs and vignettes, came out in 1972, and Report From Part Two was published in 1995, when she was almost 80.

Teaching

Brooks said her first teaching experience was at the University of Chicago when she was invited by author Frank London Brown to teach a course in American literature. It was the beginning of her lifelong commitment to sharing poetry and teaching writing.

Brooks taught extensively around the country and held posts at Columbia College Chicago, Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago State University, Elmhurst College, Columbia University, City College of New York, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

On May 1, 1996, Brooks returned to her birthplace of Topeka, Kansas. She gave the keynote speech for the Third Annual Kaw Valley Girl Scout Council's "Women of Distinction Banquet and String of Pearls Auction."

Archives

The Rare Book & Manuscript Library (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) acquired Brooks' archives from her daughter Nora. In addition, the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley has a collection of her personal papers, especially from 1950 to 1989.

Family life

In 1939, Brooks married Henry Lowington Blakely, Jr. They had two children: Henry Lowington Blakely III, born on October 10, 1940; and Nora Blakely, born in 1951.

From mid-1961 to late-1964, Henry III served in the U.S. Marine Corps, first at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and then at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay. During this time, Brooks mentored his fiancée, Kathleen Hardiman, today known as anthropologist Kathleen Rand Reed, in writing poetry. Upon his return, Blakely and Hardiman married in 1965. Brooks had so enjoyed the mentoring relationship that she began to engage more frequently in that role with the new generation of young black poets.

In the year 1990, her works were given a permanent home when Chicago State University established the Gwendolyn Brooks Center for Black Literature and Creative Writing on campus. On her eightieth birthday, in 1997, Brooks was honored with tributes from Chicago to Washington, D.C. Gwendolyn Brooks died of cancer at her Chicago home on December 3, 2000.

Maud?... You out there? Are you safe?

"I'm... I'm cold... I miss them"

Catch ups and Revelations : Part 1

[ here's the writing I've been working on :3c this is part one and I'll link the others once they're out. I'm choosing to keep things short! Gordon and Quirox belongs to @quiescent-trolls ]

Yet another day, where the sun is setting on the alien planet, and the two moons are shining as brightly as they ever have. It was in the back of a bar that the four humans were awakening from their slumber, as they always did.

How long as it been? Months? Maybe even a year? Who knew, time felt fake the longer they remained in this place. At least they had a place to stay, didn't they? And it's not like they lacked people to rely on either.

Jack was sitting on the strange bug-bean chair, a little goopy, but at this point it didn't even bother him. His time on Alternia has been pretty good- arguably, it was even better than what earth had to give him. Him and his friends found a home in Jet and Nigrip, and a caring figure as well as safe place in Gordon and his library. Jack even had nice company with Quirox, and the chill quiet time the two of them shared was always nice. And yet... Yet Jack felt so incredibly homesick. He missed the earthly sun, he missed feeling the rain on his skin, he missed the warm and calming purr of his own cat- he missed his home planet.

Slowly but surely, Jack has grown... Strangely resentful of his friends- to him, it felt like they didn't care as much as him to get back, as he was definitely the most active member in their quest to return home.

Obviously, Jack was mistaken. Elie always wanted to help, but felt like she couldn't contribute to anything, being so weak and frail- and last time she attempted something, it ended up in her boyfriend almost dying. On the other end, Alex was more focus on protecting his friends. He didn't want any of them to get hurt, and he was the strongest one out of them all. Ever since the accident, though, Alex was left devoided of energy- and quite frankly scared of going out. He wouldn't admit it, but this planet was terrifying him.

Silence was only growing stronger between the four young adults. They still cared for eachother- but it was clear than an unspoken tension was growing after Alex's injury.

Truly, the one glue of the group in those tense times was Maud- her natural cheerful nature and enthusiasm was keeping the group's spirit and morale up. Often would she organise games with everyone- even inviting Gordon to join in the fun!

Distraction was always the best medicine for hard time, wasn't it?

....

At least, until things can't be ignored anymore.

Catch ups and Revelations : Part 3

[ Third and last part !!! Here is the previous one! I am not writing for at least a month /j ]

Jack took a step back, his face contorting in a mix of sadness and anger. "You better have a good fucking reason, maud" he retorted.

"I- Jacky-o! I can explain I promise-" the girl finally replied after what felt like ages of dead silence. She was trying her best to smile- but considering the situation it felt more eerie than comforting.

How could she even begin to justify this? From all angles, this looked bad- Jack didn't want to turn on one of the only friends he had back on Earth, but this did not help. Did she.... Not want them to leave? Why? Has some troll successfully manipulated her after finding out about them? Were they about to get sold to the empi-

" I just- I wanted the fun to continue!" She replied, cutting off Jack's train of thoughts. " Merry Elie, Alexy, you and I have been having so much fun as of late- I didn't want to go back so soon! We even made new friends! Don't you want to spend time with me, Jacky-o? Don't you want to stay with your new friends?" She tilted her head innocently, a genuinely curious expression on her face.

"well he's alive! And we all are!" She gleefully replied.

"What the hell are you on about-" Jack muttered in disbelief- was she actually serious? "Maud, Alex almost DIED- Hell- WE all could die here! Do you even- do you realise the danger we've been in??" His voice was desperate, almost pleading for Maud to wake up from whatever daydream she was having.

"THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT!!" Jack yelled, he was frustrated with Maud- he knew she could be an airhead and delusional- but this was too much. "Do you want us to die here??! Is this- is this entire god damn thing just some game to you?! Maud- Maud please-"

"Is it not to you, Jacky-o?" Maud's smile started to turn into a sad frown- was her friend not happy to be here with her? Why was he so upset?

"No- it isn't! Why would it- Maud have you lost your damn mind?!"

The futuristic girl seemed confused "I... I just wanted to spend time with my friends..." She mumbled, her voice shaking as Jack was staring at her with an horrified, pained look on his face. "I thought we could all have a fun adventure here! Jacky-o, you love aliens, right? You should love it! Why aren't you enjoying it?" The girl was crumbling bit by bit... Hugging herself for comfort. Her own legs starting to shake under the pressure.

"... Because we're stuck here- how can we enjoy it if we're stuck here! Just think for once!" Jack answered, completely baffled by Maud's words- he was slowly letting his anger get the best of him, his tone getting more and more accusatory as he went on.

" But we never were stuck here! We can go back whenever-" Maud gasped, putting a hand on her mouth. Oh no. She has revealed something she was not supposed to.

".... Have you been lying to us this entire time?" Jack voice broke saying those words- tears were building up in his eyes "You lied to me?"

"I-I- I just- "

"You what?! You wanted us to have fun?? Didn't you see how much we've been struggling?! How- Why- what is wrong with you?!" Jack cut her off, trying his best to hold in the tears. He felt ... betrayed.

Maud's breathing quickened and so did her heartbeat- He was upset- and after that, they probably all will be. They all were going to hate her now, weren't they? Tears started to run down Maud's cheeks as she run out of the room in a panic- before Jack could register what was happening.

"MAUD!" Jack cried out before beginning to run after her through the hallway, but Maud was fast, fast enough to dash through the door before anyone else could even see her- too busy organising the celebration.

It was an out of breath Jack that eventually arrived to the main room, to the surprise of Alex, Elie and the two trolls.

"jack- you good?" His sister asked, slowly spotting the hint of red in Jack's eyes- has he been crying?

"Maud- she-" he took a deep breath "she ran out- we- we gotta find her!" As much as he hated what Maud has done, she was still a friend, and there was no way he'd leave her all alone on this planet. No, impossible.

"I'll go get her-"

"No Al', I'm gonna get her, ya stay there, got it?" Nigrip cut the man off before heading outside as fast as she could.

"I- alright..."

"What happened?" Elie asked, concerned.

Jack proceeded to tell the entire conversation to his two friends, Jet listening along from the side. Elie didn't know how to process it- was Maud not the sweet girl she seemed to be? She clinged onto Alex for comfort, and the man hugged her tightly. In all honesty, he wasn't sure how to take this revelation either... The accident left a scar on his back, and while he has been quiet about it, his back just hasn't been as good as it used to. The fact it could've been avoided entirely made him feel like this was all for nothing- his friends could've been protected instantly by just... Going back to earth.

A silence fell between the four people left in the underground hideout, waiting for the return of the other troll.

It took a while, but once Nigrip was back, Jack immediately went to her, hoping Maud was following behind!

...

The olive's expression was telling another story, however. "Couldn't find her" was all she muttered.

"What do you mean you couldn't find her?!" Jack asked aggressively "she couldn't have gotten far from here!"

"look Jack- I dunno, okay??! I searched all around the damn place and found nothin' ! The sun's rising and I can't go and search longer or else I'll be dust by tomorrow!" The troll hissed out of frustration.

"Well then I'll go do it my self!" He pushed Nigrip aside violently and walked up the stairs, before being stopped by someone grabbing his arm.

"Jack..." A raspy voice called, in a surprisingly soft tone. It was Jet "It's better to spend the day here and search tomorrow. The sun's not gonna help"

Jack violently teared his arm away from Jet's grip, and as he was about to yell in an angry outburst, he just... Falls to his knees, his head in hands.

"Just get some rest, alright?" Nigrip gave Jack a gentle pat on his shoulder before going to her bed, Jet following.

Elie and Alex remained silent, the two of them walking to Jack and hugging him for comfort.

They will find Maud- and she'll fine... Right?

Catch ups and Revelations : Part 2

[ YIPPEE part 2 !! Here's part one!! Enjoy :3c ]

Jack has been researching- a lot. While the technology of the machine they arrived in wasn't alternia tech, there was a good amount of books that could help him understand how those mechanisms worked in the first place. You'd be surprised how close the two planets' technology could be- putting aside the design choices. Obviously, this took him a long, long time- ever since Alex's attack, he has been working even harder towards his goal.

It took him what was probably two or three months of almost non-stop working, which worried Maud quite a bit. Every time Jack would fall asleep at his makeshift desk, she'd bring him a blanket. Every time he was about to leave for a long time alone, she'd drag him back just for a bit of relaxation. She was worried the man would kill himself out of exhaustion.

One fateful day, when he was observing the machine in their hiding spot, with Nigrip guarding the place, Jack finally figured it out- what the engine needed to be able to work again! A strange mix of melted crystals that, apparently, worked alongside a magnetic field to be able to teleport... Or something. He wasn't sure how exactly it worked, but it was the most compelling solution he had found! The inner machinery seemed to hint to it, anyway.It's not a solid conclusion, but it's something. And at this point, it was everything to him.

"FUCK YEAH!" The red haired man yelled, hands in the air- the book he was using settled in his laps.

"You found it?!" Nigrip's pupils widened as she rushed to him, lifting him up in the air. "FUCK YEAH DUDE! You genius!"

"HEY- PUT ME DOWN!" Jack wiggled in the troll's arms before being dropped on the ground. "But yeah! I think I got it! It's some sort of melted crystal mix... I bet this will help Maud refresh her memory- I'm sure she'll know what kind of rocks it is"

"... Might be hard to find, though- I mean crystals like that gotta be under empire's supervision... Under the fleet's protection, even-" the troll smirked "I always wanted to get to those fuckers!"

"Woah woah- chill" Jack chuckled "one thing at a time, right? First let's tell the others! It's gonna blow their damn mind"

"Ahah! ya got it mister genius" she playfully hit jack's arm "Alright, let's head off"

And with that, the two excitedly made their way back to the base! Jack entered with a bright smile- a rare sight. He proceeded to loudly announce "GUYS- GUYS! I GOT IT" to the entire bar- and very quickly, two humans came rushing in, alongside a troll who was slightly lagging behind.

"Got what, kid?" Jet asked, amused.

"The fuel! I know what we need!"

"You what?!" Elie gasped, putting a hand over her mask, trying to contain the tears of joy she was about to let loose.

"Jack! That's awesome! " Alex rushed in to squeeze Jack into a tight embrace- leaving the red head to squirm like a worm out of his grip.

"Alex- ALEX-"

"Ah- Sorry- Sorry!" Jack was instantly let go, leaving Alex to apologize profusely.

"So you cracked the code, huh?" Jet asked.

"Well uh- partially ! I know we'll need a sort of mix of different crystals- but I don't know which ones exactly... Though Maud could help with that! Speaking of-" Jack looked around the room, trying to catch a glimpse of the futuristic girl. "... Where is she?"

"Beats me!" Elie replied with a shrug "I don't think she went out though, she'd never go without a warning or something"

"Maybe she's in her VR thingy?- She's been using it a lot as of late..." Alex suggested.

"Go 'n find her, me and Nigrip are gonna prepare ya four a good old celebration party!" Jet winked, signing Jack to go.

The man's first instinct was to check Maud's room- obviously! It was where she'd end up most of the time, when they weren't spending time together.... But it seemed she wasn't here, huh... Strange....

Jack was starting to worry- Maud rarely, if ever, went out alone, especially not without telling someone about it. As he kept walking through the dead silent barman's place, he heard the quiet shuffling of papers from a specific room... His room. The room in which he spent most of his time tirelessly searching for the truth about this god forsaken Machine.

As he opened the door and stepped in, his heart was beating like crazy- did a troll break into their base? Was it the end for them? Thankfully, all worries were lifted off his shoulders as soon as he saw the familiar figure of Maud in the room.

"Ah- Maud! Thank fuck you're here I-"

He was stoped dead in his track as his eyes took more of the current scene, Maud wasn't just organising the papers around- she was tearing them apart piece by piece. The entire room was just a cemetery for Jack's months worth of research.

The red head's face instantly changed as the girl just stared at him helplessly- her expression was completely unreadable as she froze like a deer in headlights.

"Maud... What the Fuck are you doing" Jack spoke, his voice quiet and shaky, before he repeated himself, this time, louder and "what the FUCK are you doing??!"
