,” Aug. 29]: While I could not agree more about the misuse of the term “real Americans,” I would submit that your judgments of Hollywood may be a bit harsh. I’m not much of a fan of mainstream TV, but it seems to me that there’s a reasonable population of programming featuring people of color as well as strong female characters, Showtime’s “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” is one worthy example.
And from my personal, behind-the-camera perspective, I’m seeing an increasing number of women and people of color at work on sets and in production offices.One notable example in this regard is “Atlanta,” where large numbers of young men and women of color are being integrated into all aspects of the industry, a terrific development for both the state of Georgia and the industry.
Hollywood should take a page from his book and bring back shows like “The Golden Girls,” a much-needed group of women who are highly excluded in Hollywood today.I had a good laugh reading Mary McNamara’s column “They Do Not Reflect the Real U.S.” She seems to think Hollywood has some moral obligation to right the wrongs of society. Her naivety would be charming if she weren’t a Hollywood Critic.
It’s called “Show Business,” not “Show Art” or “Show Morality.” As an artist who struggled to make a living for 30 years in “Show Business” I survived because I understood that the bottom line is what drives Hollywood. Always has. Always will. And Hollywood, despite being an inherently risky business, has always been risk-averse.
She’s right: Art should imitate life, to include portrayals of lives of untold millions who seem ignored if not disdained by bigoted political leaders. And with more minority, female and LGBTQ roles in films and TV shows, we can hope that life will imitate art, so as to eradicate invidious discrimination.As I glanced at the dark and moody lead photo in Thursday’s Calendar from the new feature “Ad Astra,” I said to myself, wow, cool, a movie about a black astronaut.
