(Think we can overlook this slip of the tongue from Lee Daniels 😂 and hope there will be some historical accuracy amongst what is inevitably changed for dramatic effect.)
@leedanielsent Great to hear you’re working on a SDJr miniseries, but Sammy married May Britt, not Elke Sommer. Artistic license is cool, but that might be a stretch too far 😂 We are only too keen to help with historical accuracy issues as needed. 👍
Great casting. Let’s hope this is something great on @Hulu!
(Have some reservations about the source material and the reported ground this series is covering.)
