"Under-age lovers, transvestite tendencies and a porn stash - featuring Joan
Crawford: New book exposes secret world of J. Edgar Hoover"

By Daniel Bates
Last updated at 9:56 AM on 9th February 2012


Edgar Hoover assembled the largest collection of pornography in history to
meet his insatiable sexual demands, according to a new biography.

The former director of the FBI built up a vast stock of adult films made by
Hollywood stars before they were famous which he watched for his own
titillation - or to blackmail them.

They included one starring a very young Frank Sinatra made in 1934 [age: 18]
he shot when he was a penniless wannabe actor slumming it in New York.

Hoover was also partial to 'classically erotic lithographs' depicting men
with giant phalluses or full frontal nudes which he hung on his bathroom
walls

Among the book's other revelations are that Hoover and one of his close
friends both had sex with a male suspect caught by the FBI - before letting
him go and making his case disappear.

Hoover has long been the subject of speculation about his private life, in
particular that he was a transvestite and enjoyed a gay relationship with
his close friend and FBI associate director Clyde Tolson.

Last year saw the release of the Clint Eastwood biopic 'J. Edgar' starring
Leonard Di Caprio, although it avoided the question of whether he was even
gay.

The new book by contrast goes much further and delves into the most sordid
details of the man who did more to shape the morality of America than any
other person.

In 'J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson: Investigating the Sexual Secrets of
America's Most Famous Men and Women', author Darwin Porter writes that
Hoover built up what was considered the biggest porn collection in history.

The material was culled from FBI raids and taken by Hoover for his own
personal enjoyment. It was especially controversial because at the time
pornography was illegal.

In an interview with MailOnline, Porter said: 'Hoover was especially
interested in collecting copies of 'blue movies' made by movie stars before
they became famous, Joan Crawford being among the most famous instances of
this.

'Hoover was said to have obtained a pirated copy of The Masked Bandit: He
Robs P****, a 'blue movie' made by a very young Frank Sinatra (the film's
'masked bandit') in 1934.

'Sinatra shot this movie when he was down and out on the streets of
Manhattan. His parents had kicked him out of their house for not pursuing a
regular job.'

Porter added that Hoover was 'mostly interested in nudes of famous people'
and would not just look at any old porn.

Of particular interest were frontal nudes of male celebrities including Tony
Curtis, Burt Lancaster, a teenage Warren Beatty, Elvis Presley, Charlton
Heston and James Dean.

Porter said: 'It was widely reported that the gun molls of gangster John
Dillinger defined his endowment as 'the eighth wonder of the world.'

'When Dillinger was slain by the FBI, Hoover ordered an agent to take a nude
picture of him as his dead body lay on a marble slab in a mortuary.'

In Porter's book, Hoover is portrayed as clamping down on the sexual
behaviour of an entire country whilst at the same time allowing himself free
reign to conduct himself as he pleased.

In one episode in 1947 his friend Guy Hotell, a Special Agent in Charge of
the FBI's Washington Field Office, brought in a 17-year-old suspected of
robbery for questioning.

Hotell had him released into his custody and flew him to a hotel in Miami
where Hoover was on vacation and they both had sex with him before buying
the teenager a plane ticket home and dropping the case.

The book also details how in the 1930s Hoover used male prostitutes whilst
on holiday in Havana at a notorious brothel known as 'Cocktail' whilst
disguised in a fake moustache, hat pulled down and dark glasses so nobody
would recognise him.

In his later years Hoover also became obsessed with a bizarre that he could
end WW2 by himself flying to Germany and arresting Hitler or gunning him
down if he resisted.

Hoover was the first director of the FBI and served for nearly 40 years [*]
until his death in 1972 at the age of 77.

The nice thing about writing about dead people is that you can libel
them and they have no recourse. We are all aware of the rumors about
Hoover's private life and there may be some truth to them even if they
are exaggerated. Even if all these allegations were true, how would
anyone know about it and why is it just now coming to light? Who had
all this privilaged information and why are they releasing it now?
