Docudrama, to be precise. Some characters are real, others are real but have different names, others are composites of real people and some are wholly fictional. For example, that Genovese mobster, Matty the Horse, was a real made guy and he really did control the nascent porn biz. The Franco twin characters were real, but had different names. The bar was called the Tin Pan Alley, not the Hi-Hat. Eileen/Candy is a composite character. Ruby/Thunderthighs was a real person and that is how she really died.
