Related: About this forumBreaking Butterflies: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards & J. Edgar Hoover
"Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?" 50 years ago, William Rees-Mogg appropriated this quote by Alexander Pope from 1735, but I think it's still a timely question.

(2,037 posts)1. Mary Hoover would have liked THAT.
Which Hoover was that?

Maybe that;s her?
Rumor is J. Edgar like to wear her dresses. Probably about as accurate as the Mars Bar container vs Mick Jagger story.

Yeah, I remember that scene in the Eastwood movie. I think J. Edgar was way too repressed and in the closet, IMO. Supposedly there were photos but they never have surfaced, have they?

(7,615 posts)5. Not that I'm aware of.
Then again, I haven't exactly been searching for them either.
Maybe his boyfriend had a few.
