Joan Crawford once threatened the director of the FBI when she wanted an old stag film destroyed. She accepted an Oscar that wasn’t hers for the sole purpose to get revenge on her co-star. She wrote her daughter out of her will, before she knew the kid was about to permanently ruin her legacy. But how did she wind up at a party with Richard Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, and Lyndon Johnson – on the eve of the Kennedy assassination? And why did some say the answer to that question was murder?
