Academy Museum Faces Backlash Over Jewish Founders Exhibit

Critics argue the portrayal of Hollywood's Jewish pioneers perpetuates harmful stereotypes, prompting calls for revisions.

The exhibit 'Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital' has been criticized for using negative descriptors like 'tyrant' and 'predator.'
A group of 350 Hollywood figures, including David Schwimmer and Amy Sherman-Palladino, signed an open letter denouncing the exhibit.
The museum has announced it will revise the exhibit to address concerns of antisemitism.
The controversy highlights ongoing challenges in presenting a balanced history of Hollywood.
The museum's advisory group will include experts from Jewish and civil rights organizations.
