Ryan Murphy has covered everything in his television career from plastic surgery to glee clubs to horror stories and OJ Simpson. His latest series is aptly titled Hollywood, and it’s now streaming on Netflix. The bright lights and glamour of Hollywood can be attractive to many who are looking for their big break.
