Ryan Murphy

Received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6533 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on December 4, 2018.

In June 2017, he, his production company Ryan Murphy Productions as well as FX, were sued by Olivia de Havilland due to what she felt was an unauthorized and inaccurate portrayal of her in the show Feud: Bette and Joan (2017)'s first season "Bette and Joan". A statement from her lawyers read: "Miss de Havilland was not asked by FX for permission to use her name and identity and was not compensated for such use." "Further, the FX series puts words in the mouth of Miss de Havilland which are inaccurate and contrary to the reputation she has built over an 80-year professional life, specifically refusing to engage in gossip mongering about other actors in order to generate media attention for herself.".

He is a writer and producer, known for Glee (2009), American Horror Story (2011) and Pose (2018).

While a guest on her radio program "Fresh Air with Terry Gross," Murphy told interviewer Terry Gross that he got his start in Hollywood while still a journalist when he sold a script called "Why Can't I Be Audrey Hepburn?" to Steven Spielberg during the 1990s. Murphy said that Spielberg was interested in the script in part because he had directed Hepburn in her last film, Always (1989). As of the time of the "Fresh Air" interview (May 2009), the script has never been produced.

His favorite movies of all time are Network (1976), I Married a Witch (1942), Female Trouble (1974), and Pink Flamingos (1972).

Ryan Murphy was born on November 9, 1965 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
