The FBI Celebrity Files

What do Abbot and Costello, John Lennon, psychic Jean Dixon, George Carlin, Frank Sinatra, and Jacques Cousteau have in common? Each had an FBI file with his or her name on it--not because they were criminals, but due to J. Edgar Hoover's hefty appetite for gossip and inflexible moral and political code that put celebrities who didn't subscribe to it at the mercy of America's most powerful investigative organization.
