** Creator/RockHudson, a leading man with a RatedMForManly image who was actually a closeted gay man (and one of the most notable examples of such during that era). His sexuality only became public after his death in 1985, which also made him the first major celebrity to die of AIDS-related illness (and bring the disease to worldwide conversation).

** Henry Wilson was a real Hollywood agent and power broker from the 1930s until the 60s. He specialised in young, good-looking men who were given RatedMForManly stage names. He himself was a closeted gay man, and molded many of his gay clients into straight-appearing stars. He likewise kept blackmail material on file, and would use it to help his clients (sometimes at the cost of his others). The story he tells of William Haines - a Silent Era star who quit the industry rather than enter a sham marriage - is true as well.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Ernie eventually settles down with [[spoiler:Ellen]], but also turns tricks with men, runs a brothel that caters to all genders and sexualities, and says he'd be interested in [[spoiler:Henry]] "in another life." The latter comment was likely a joke, leaving it unclear if Ernie is personally into men himself, or if it's just practical business.

He’s also shown grabbing Raymond’s butt while congratulating him on his Oscar win.
