The 77-year-old actor's career is brighter than ever, including a role in Ryan Murphy's 1940s revisionist-history series 'Hollywood.'
series, which premieres May 1, is set during the 1940s when the titular industry was still largely segregated. Queer people had to conceal their sexuality, and people of color were considered unbankable. Fusing fact and rosy fiction, “Hollywood” charts the development of a movie based on British actor Peg Entwistle, who in 1932 took her own life byTaylor plays Ellen Kincaid, an articulate, open-minded talent manager in a town run by obstinate blowhards.
Just think: You have this tiny creature who has no idea what’s going on. He doesn’t know who the president is. She gave me advice I didn’t need. She said, “Take that job!” I said, “I’m way ahead of you, lady.” I just always think of Sarah being in all of Ryan’s shows, so it never occurred to me that I would do a Ryan Murphy show. I wouldn’t want to be in a show that Sarah was in. That wouldn’t be right. That wouldn’t feel comfortable to me. Then this came up and he said, “No, this is a one-off thing that we’re doing. We’re creating the part for you. It’s going to be wonderful.
This is a show about image-making. At the time, actors’ personas were created in boardrooms. It’s a different era now, but have you ever been asked to alter your voice or appearance in a way that made you feel uncomfortable or manipulated? Do you think the same type of carefully calculated star-making that’s seen on the show still happens today in Hollywood?
I hustled when I was very young because I did not go to Yale or Juilliard, so I had no society when I came to New York. I knew no one. I just came blind and I had no idea what to do or how to make my way. And I was lucky. I had small roles in a number of off-Broadway shows and a number of Broadway shows. I worked fairly steadily, but it is true that I’ve gotten some really fantastic roles later in my career.
I’ve always supported myself since I arrived in New York right out of school, and never had any source of income other than what I made from acting. So I took the job.
