      abstract = {J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972), the first director of the  Federal Bureau of Investigation, held longstanding interest  in the Hollywood film industry as well as deep distrust of  anyone on the political left. In August 1942 he ordered the  bureau's Los Angeles office to report on "Communist  Infiltration of the Motion Picture Industry." Various FBI  reports chronicled the working of major film studios such  as MGM, Paramount, RKO, and Warner Brothers, and studio  management and labor union power struggles. The FBI's  investigation of Hollywood resulted in many thousands of  pages and show a growing operation organized in the early  1940s that continued throughout the Cold War.},
