Halston

Ryan Murphy was a producer and co-writer on this limited series where we follow the rise and fall of the fashion designer Halston who made a name for himself in haute couture in the 1960s, finding a friend in Liza Minnelli, a lover in a Venezuelan-born artist and perhaps a little too much fun at Studio 54 before losing control of his own brand in the 1980s. As in most Murphy productions, glamour and style matter a lot, but Ewan McGregor is a flamboyant treat, transcending the cliché as a man who worked hard to put the rural Indiana of his teens far behind him.

2021-U.S. Made for TV. 237 min. Color. Widescreen. Created by Sharr White. Directed by Daniel Minahan. Book: Steven Gaines (”Simply Halston”). Cast: Ewan McGregor (Halston), Rebecca Dayan (Elsa Peretti), David Pittu (Joe Eula), Krysta Rodriguez, Bill Pullman, Gian Franco Rodriguez… Vera Farmiga.

Trivia: Originally shown in five episodes. Co-executive produced by McGregor. The designer’s life was also chronicled in the documentary Halston (2019).

Emmy: Outstanding Actor (McGregor).
