THR Cover: Wealth, privilege and Gwyneth Paltrow: How Ryan Murphy's first Netflix show takes down Trump-era entitlement
. He wanted desperately to sink his teeth into someone confident, dark, sexual and, yes, ambitious. "As soon as he told me that, it clocked me into those ideas that I had [for this project]," recalls Murphy.
It didn't hurt that Netflix offered a rare two-season order and was willing to pony up significant production money, too. "They will pay for talent and they will pay for quality," says Murphy. Given the all-star cast and creative team, it's no surprise thatwas one of Murphy's more expensive shows — and certainly the most lavish onscreen. But that's not to say Netflix was just signing blank checks.
Escalating the cost of the package also was Streisand's initial interest. Murphy had pitched the multihyphenate — he'd met her at a dinner party at her Malibu home a few years ago with her husband, James Brolin, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, and Lady Gaga — on a role he had in mind specifically for her before there was even a script. She considered it, but talks ultimately never reached deal-point status.
Paltrow wasn't looking to be quite so hands-on. "I already have another job, so I wasn't trying to stake my executive producer flag in the ground and start bossing anyone around by any means," she says, though her husband adds that she'd occasionally suggest changes to her character's lines. "She would come to me with, 'This is killing me; please don't make me say all this.
