- Marilyn Monroe and the KennedysABC killed a 20/20 segment on this in 1985 and its own anchors protested, which is the closest thing to suppression in the whole story. The man whose tapes are supposed to prove it wrote a Hollywood tell-all in 1974 and did not mention Monroe once.
- Soviet Hollywood TakeoverThe Soviet Hollywood Takeover was an early 1920s fear that the new culture of flapper films, modern romance, sexual independence, nightlife glamour, and weakened parental authority on the American screen was not merely a domestic social trend but a deliberate ideological attack directed from Moscow. In this theory, Hollywood had either been infiltrated by Bolshevik sympathizers or had become an unwitting delivery system for Soviet moral warfare. The alleged objective was the destruction of the American family unit, the erosion of traditional gender expectations, and the normalization of rebellion through mass entertainment. The theory grew in the same cultural atmosphere that produced the First Red Scare, anti-Bolshevik film propaganda, and widespread panic over youth culture in the 1920s.
