"Hollywood is a sewer with service from the Ritz Carlton"

- Wilson Mizner

About this Quote

This quote by Wilson Mizner is a commentary on the glamorized and frequently deceptive nature of Hollywood. He is suggesting that, despite the luxurious and opulent way of life that Hollywood is understood for, it is still a place of ethical depravity and corruption. He compares it to a sewage system, a location of dirt and decay, and yet the service is still as if it were from the Ritz Carlton, a glamorous and high-end hotel. This contrast is meant to highlight the contrast between the glamorous facade of Hollywood and the dark and seedy reality that lies below. Mizner is warning us that, despite the glamour and glamour, Hollywood is still a place of ethical decay and should be approached with care.
