Invitation and Guest List


Guest List
Leonardo DiCaprio
Mr. DiCaprio portrayed J. Edgar Hoover in a film about his life. I am curious to hear what his opinions of Hoover are after playing the role and doing his own research for the film.
Helen Gandy
Ms. Gandy was J. Edgar Hoover's secretary and close friend during his time at the FBI. I am excited to hear what she thought of Hoover and his actions because she was on the inside of his plans when many other high ranking people were not. I think she could provide an interesting insight into the way Hoover acted when he was not in the public eye.
Clarence M. Kelley
Mr. Kelley served as director of the FBI after Mr. Hoover. I would like to hear what he thought of how Hoover changed the FBI. I think it would be interesting to hear his take on the state of the bureau as he inherited it and what he thought about all of the changes that Hoover made during his time. I would like to know if he wanted to change anything or if he really liked or disliked anything that Hoover created.
Charles Lindbergh
Mr. Lindbergh was the father of Charles Lindbergh Jr. who was abducted from his crib and became one of Hoover's first major cases. I would like to hear Mr. Lindbergh's opinion of Hoover because in the end he failed to save his child from death. 
A. Mitchell Palmer
Mr. Palmer was the Attorney General and was Hoover's boss until he took the downfall because of a scandal that Hoover led. I think that Mr. Palmer would create interesting conversation because I can't imagine he thinks very highly about Hoover after he took the backlash for the Palmer Raids that they planned together.
Anna Marie Scheitlin
Ms. Scheitlin was Hoover's mother, with whom he had a close relationship. I think that she would provide a very different opinion of Hoover and his life because she can provide insight into Hoover's childhood and can address the changes that happened to his personality when he began his work with the FBI.
Clyde Tolson
Mr. Tolson was Mr. Hoover's best friend and right hand. I would be curious to hear his opinion of Hoover because it would be overwhelming positive I imagine. The two were so close that there were numerous rumors that they were actually lovers, I would also enjoy hearing Mr. Tolson's take on that.
Christopher Wray
Mr. Wray is the current director of the FBI. I would be curious to hear what he thinks of the way that Hoover ran the institution and how his actions have affected the bureau as it is today.
