Daisy Jones and the Six Cast and Real Life Inspirations: Click for full photos
Had to make this once we got the full band cast for the “Daisy Jones and the Six” miniseries on Amazon based off Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel. I know some characters had more influences but most of the characters had one main inspiration and these were the ones I noticed.
