Innholdsfortegnelse for Hollywood 2019 i Vanity Fair

It’s clear why this movie, a paean to elegance and outsize personalities, occupies a place in the heart of 84-year-old Mr. Armani (as he’s called by everyone in his industry), a self-described film buff who transformed awards-season style by eschewing the trendy and provocative in favor of fresh sophistication. Even a marginally perceptive viewer will note the congruence between Bergman’s outfit and early iconic Armani looks, all iterations of what would come to be known as “power dressing”: Diane Keaton’s assertively elegant blazer in 1978; Michelle Pfeiffer’s luxe suit in navy velvet a decade later; Jodie Foster’s silk jacket and beaded trousers in 1992, the only pop of color a crimson aids-awareness ribbon pinned to her lapel. The metonymic red carpet may be a far cry from a Florida courthouse,…

Gwyneth PALTROW: I’ve had this very long, amazing, and very public career, and that cover was the first articulation of what was to come. I kept thinking I didn’t deserve to be there. I was young and those women were the biggest stars of the day—I mean, I don’t even think I was going out with Brad Pitt yet! Nicole KIDMAN: I remember being in awe of Annie and amazed that I was included. She is such a force. I’d done Days of Thunder and Malice, and I was like, How did I get this? This is incredible. Patricia ARQUETTE: It hadn’t been done before. All these actresses, the different clothes…. There was a big blowback. But, you know, it’s funny, I feel like in some of the most pivotal movies and moments…

In early October, shortly after the newly spun-off Fox media company announced her appointment as chief communications officer, Hope Hicks flew to Los Angeles and set up shop at the Century City InterContinental to meet with her new counterparts, the Hollywood trade press. During her years flacking for Donald Trump, Hicks had developed a reputation among political reporters as a fair broker of sorts. Her stoic disposition may have belied an assassin-level fealty to her boss, but she was nevertheless polite and competent in a milieu otherwise defined by chaos and turbulence. Perhaps more importantly, she had juice. Over the years, Hicks had become an ever present Trump appendage, a surrogate daughter, de facto whisperer and translator. She was a Zelig-like character in the White House telenovela—a witness in the…

Ms. Cicely Tyson is elegance personified. She is excellence. She is courage. When I think of her, I think of the Stevie Wonder lyrics: “Show me how to do like you. Show me how to do it.” The first time I encountered her I was a little girl living in a tenement in Central Falls, Rhode Island. There, sitting on the floor with my sisters, I watched The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, in which Ms. Tyson depicts the life of a formerly enslaved woman from about age 23 to nearly 110. When my sister said, “That’s the same actress,” I couldn’t believe it. I lived in a sea of white faces, on-screen and off, and here was this woman who looked like me—and she was performing magic. It was…

Emmanuel “Chivo” LUBEZKI “Moving Pictures” p. 106 Our cover maestro Lubezki made Hollywood history when he won a trifecta of Oscars for Gravity (2013), Birdman (2014), and The Revenant (2015). “I’m very happy and extremely lucky to have won,” says the Mexican cinematographer. “But minutes after you win, you realize you have not changed at all. It’s best to keep going and keep studying and keep working.” Chivo (the nickname means “goat,” and he’s had it since boyhood) picked up his first camera—a Kodak Retina—around age four. His memory of that early experience still informs his artistry. “To see the light hitting the lens, it looked like a little jewel,” he remembers. “I wanted to eat it, touch it, smell it, and it was so beautiful to me.” It’s with…

One of my most vivid memories of my early life as a filmgoer is of cutting school in ninth grade (sorry, Mum) on a snowy Friday to go see Paul Thomas Anderson’s early magnum opus (and still my favorite of his films), Boogie Nights, in 1997. My sister and I, not yet 17, bought tickets to Flubber and then sneaked into another theater drawn in by the promise of seeing our infamous hometown antihero, Mark Wahlberg, in a new kind of role, but probably not prepared for the riot of style and formal daring that awaited us. Riding the T back home, gazing out at dreary Boston, I was still dazzled by, and almost afraid of, that film’s cool glide, the way Anderson so keenly understood the physics of the…

At HBO’s 2018 post-Emmys party in West Hollywood, Richard Plepler, the network’s chairman and C.E.O., orbited the Pacific Design Center like a spinning top of schmooze. One minute he embraced Thandie Newton, whose outstanding-supporting-actress statue for her role in Westworld gleamed beside her on a dining table. The next, he bantered in a booth with Larry David. Behind them, Peter Dinklage, Gwendoline Christie, and other Game of Thrones cast members held court beneath a gargantuan chandelier of writhing snakes, celebrating its win for outstanding drama series. When Plepler popped up on the other side of the bustling throng in a clinch with John Oliver, whose Last Week Tonight had once again nabbed the award for best variety talk series, I began to wonder if HBO’s boss had cloned himself. The…

There are formative moments in every child’s life that burrow into the subconscious and become the essential building blocks of life henceforth: first word, first step, first glimpse of celebrity. For more than 150 million children around the world each year, that early sprinkling of stardust comes courtesy of Sesame Street. Today’s tots have seen Conan O’Brien gabbing about amphibians, and Lupita Nyong’o telling Elmo that skin comes in “lots of beautiful shades and colors.” And back when Stevie Wonder crooned with Grover, or Susan Sarandon got stuck in the rain with the Count, chances are it was your own first celeb sighting, too. The program’s central tenets have hardly shifted since its pilot aired on PBS a half-century ago, when Carol Burnett editorialized a cartoon to the delight of…

Quentin Tarantino was six years old and living in the Los Angeles area when, in the summer of 1969, hell broke loose. You know this story: five people murdered over the course of two days that August, shot and stabbed by a clan of hippie impressionables in anticipation of Helter Skelter, Charles Manson’s idea of holy terror. It’s a Hollywood tale—not least because its most famous victim, the pregnant actress Sharon Tate, was the wife of director Roman Polanski, which put the terror square in the back lot’s backyard. But it’s a Hollywood story for bigger reasons. This was an era, not merely an event; a lifestyle, a people, a widespread obsession—not merely a spot on a timeline or map. The city is a sprawl. So was 1969. And so…

In the late 1920s, as Hollywood was booming and Beverly Hills was sprouting a bumper crop of movie-colony mansions, the stretch between them was little more than sagebrush and scrub. It was known as No-Man’s Land. Winding through it was a forlorn trail with a presumptuous name: Sunset Boulevard. Where this unpaved road met Marmont Lane, catty-corner to an oasis-like complex of villas in mid-construction called the Garden of Allah, the attorney and developer Fred Horowitz became mesmerized by a barren hillside. One day in November of 1926, the story goes, he rolled up to the unpromising site in a town car, pulled out a snapshot he’d taken in the Loire Valley of the Château d’Amboise (where Catherine de Medici and Henry II of France shacked up in the 16th century),…
