Lucy's FBI File

Get the scoop on Lucy's FBI File by reading Celebrity Secrets: Government Files on the Rich and Famous by Nick Redfern.

Here is an excerpt from Kristi Turnquist's book review:

Nick Redfern digs into declassified government files to see what the FBI and others were snooping into. A hefty chunk of entries cover the Communist-obsessed '50s, when J. Edgar Hoover was convinced there were Reds hiding inside every Hollywood home. Even all-American Lucille Ball turned out to have some Commie roots, as one report reveals: "Ball stated that in 1936 she registered to vote as a Communist or intended to vote the Communist Party ticket because her grandfather, Fred Hunt, had been a Socialist all his life and she had registered as a Communist to make him happy." Lu-ceeeee!



Celebrity Secrets: Government Files on the Rich and Famous by Nick Redfern retails for $14 and is available for purchase now.
