Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The gas station where Jack works is based on Scotty Bowers's real-life operation, immortalized in the documentary 'Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood.' Bowers was a Marine who ran a prostitution ring for closeted stars from a gas station.
Ryan Murphy cast several actors of color in roles originally written as white—including Laura Harrier's Camille becoming a Black woman winning Best Actress—which was his direct response to #OscarsSoWhite and the persistent erasure of Hollywood's actual Black pioneers like Hattie McDaniel.
