Hedda Hopper's Hollywood
Celebrity Gossip and American Conservatism (American History and Culture Book 8)
Jennifer Frost
This fascinating book delves into the life and career of Hedda Hopper, a 1930s gossip columnist who rose to fame writing for the Los Angeles Times. While her column won her millions of fans, her conservative views on politics and traditional values made her a controversial figure. Despite this, the author argues that Hopper's influence on popular culture and conservatism cannot be understated. Discover how Hollywood gossip shaped American movies and politics, all while giving women a voice in a traditionally male-dominated realm.
