Both ruthless and heroic


Seen here with LauryAnn, Boutique Manager /Anne Fontaine, and Pamela Reisman / Pamela Reisman Designs.
In association with Australians in Film and V Australia, I attended a screening of J. Edgar last evening. AiF Ambassador Naomi Watts was unable to be present but AiF member Damon Herriman joined the group at the conclusion.  Fascinating film about such a formidable and untouchable man!  During his lifetime, J. Edgar Hoover would rise to be the most powerful man in America.  As head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 48 years, through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover waged battle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rules to keep his countrymen safe.
