Margot Robbie was originally set to play Clara Bow, an actress known as Hollywood’s first sex goddess and it girl, but the role was revised to become more fictional.
Brad Pitt is expected to play a fictional character: a silent film actor (reportedly based on John Gilbert, one of Hollywood’s most popular romantic figures and one of the highest-paid male stars at the time) who can’t adapt to the shifts in the film industry.
With the release of “The Jazz Singer”, there was a rise in sound movies.
Li Jun Li plays Anna May Wong, the first Chinese film star in Hollywood.
