Hedda
Hopper was a prominent Hollywood Motion Picture
columnist who corresponded directly with J. Edgar
Hoover. Her writings not only included letters
to Mr. Hoover, she also penned complimentary articles
about the FBI. Mr. Hoover would in turn write
her letters of appreciation. Mrs. Hopper was the
victim of two extortion attempts. The first attempt
threatened to kill her, and the second attempt
was a letter warning her not to talk about the
president and his wife. In August 1959, she had
the opportunity to tour a Strategic Air Command
(SAC) base in Nebraska.
