What Makes Netflix Run

No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention, by Netflix cofounder and co-CEO Reed Hastings, is “an earnest attempt to bottle Netflix’s business culture for a new generation,” Joy Press writes. Hastings expounded on his business philosophy over Zoom: “Not getting the new thing, that’s the big risk,” he told Press recently. “So we should take more little risks.” 

Elsewhere in HWD, Julie Miller chats with the one and only Paris Hilton about her quest to retire “Paris Hilton”; Rebecca Sun profiles veteran actor and Mulan star Tzi Ma; Christopher Rosen goes deep on the fascinating topic of Oscars category fraud; and Vanessa Kirby opens up to Miller about her heartrending new film, which just premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
