Yep, 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Is Based On A Real Person, Says Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino But it's not a famous comedienne.
Michael Zegen as Joel Maisel, Midge's estranged husband, who leaves Midge for his secretary. He is also an aspiring stand-up comic, but only relies on the routines of Bob Newhart. A former employee of Tri-Borough Plastics, he leaves the company and ends up working with his father.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The series stars Rachel Brosnahan as the titular Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a housewife in 1958 New York City who discovers she has a knack for stand-up comedy. Following the premiere of the pilot episode to critical acclaim, the series was picked up by Amazon for a two-season order on April 10, 2017.
There's a popular fan theory that the main inspiration for Shy's character was Harry Belafonte. As Esquire reported, Shy makes a jab at Elvis Presley in the show, which could be a reference to the real-life rivalry Harry had with Elvis. Shy also works with Moms Mabley (Wanda Sykes).
In her appearance and comedic style, she's an amalgamation of the two biggest female comedians of the 1950s, Phyllis Diller and Totie Fields. Jane Lynch as Sophie Lennon and Reid Scott as Gordon Ford in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (Prime Video)Lynch plays Lennon as a stylish, haughty performer.
The model for superstar crooner Shy Baldwin is almost certainly Johnny Mathis. But although the character Shy looks and sounds like Mathis, in his career, real-life Johnny never did record the hit song "Younger Than Springtime" from the famous Broadway musical and film South Pacific (1958).
11 Rachel Brosnahan wears a wig. They permanently changed it mid-show, too. "We shortened the wig from the first couple of episode of the show to make it more perky. She has a perky quality as a character, so we wanted the wig to match," the show's head hair stylist Jerry DeCarlo told Refinery29.
Maisel based on a true story? Technically, no. There was no Jewish stand-up comic named Miriam Maisel performing at the Gaslight in New York City in the 1960s. However, Midge's story is loaded with references to real-life performers, complete with their triumphs and flaws.
Maisel' character Susie Myerson is actually based on real-life talent agent Sue Mengers. While a lot of people came to this conclusion on their own thanks to the shared initials, it was also confirmed by the showrunner.
Maisel is based on a real-life comedienne and actress. Here's who Midge is inspired by. In The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Rachel Brosnahan's Midge Maisel is born of inspiration from a real-life comedienne.
Their love bubble is soon punctured when Midge finds a bag of what appears to be drug paraphernalia in his bathroom. Lenny shrugs it off: “All is well, I promise.” It's one that we know he can't keep, given that the real comedian would die of an overdose in 1966—a date the show is inching ever closer to.

Though it looks like her natural hair color, the actress told POPSUGAR that she wasn't actually born a brunette. "I'm naturally blond," Brosnahan said. "I started dyeing my hair really dark when I was 16, and then I waited almost 10 years before I went back to blond."

"Once he [Sherman] moved to L.A., all his cronies would sit around and talk about the good old days in New York," Dan Palladino explains. "...That was really stand-up comedy central during the '40s and '50s and going into the '60s." (Indeed, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel takes place in the late 1950s going into the 1960s.)
From hearing Sherman's war stories, the couple got "to learn the psychology of a working stand-up comic," says Dan Palladino, which invariably informed not only Midge's character, but also her trajectory in the show.
"A lot of that [Midge's character] is drawn from Don, and some of it's drawn from stand-ups that we've known over the years," he adds. "And...while there's a bit of all these female comics in Midge, there's not a lot in Midge. We've kind of made her up out of whole cloth."
Set in 1950s Manhattan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a 60-minute dramedy that centers on Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a sunny, energetic, sharp Jewish woman who had her life mapped out: go to college, find a husband, have kids, and throw the best Yom Kippur breakfasts in town.
Amy Sherman-Palladino explained the show concept as follows: "I wanted to do a story about a woman who thought she'd scored...She'd gotten it all, and then, bam, it all falls apart. And in falling apart, she discovers an ambition and a need to speak, and a voice that she just frankly didn't know was there."
We don't know how MCU Peter's parents died, and it's been confirmed that the kid that Tomy saves is Peter. Peter had to get to the Syark Expo somehow and we don't see any adult guardian with peter. What I'm proposing is that Peter's parents died during Iron Man 2's ending battle.
