F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Last Tycoon' reborn on TV
LOS ANGELES: F. Scott Fitzgerald never finished his last novel The Last Tycoon but that made filming the book for a new television series even more interesting for actors Kelsey Grammer and Lily Collins.
Fitzgerald died in 1940 at the age of 44 before finishing the story about the studio system in the Golden Age of Hollywood. He left notes on where the characters were heading and the completed novel was released posthumously in 1941 by his friend, Edmund Wilson.

"Some things have changed but many, many things have not. A lot of the things that we are dealing with on the show are sadly really relevant and fresh today, whether it's the ageism or the sexism or the anti-Semitism and certain aspects of race," said Matt Bomer, who plays Monroe Stahr, a character based on studio chief Irving Thalberg.

If you have Amazon Prime, this series is worth watching. It is very engaging, and one of the only series which confronts anti-Semitism (in pre-WWII America). Of course, it has Matt Bomer and that is enough reason right there to watch!
