Hedda Hopper

Journalist / Stage Actress / Film Actress / Television Actress / Radio Personality / Penwoman | * 05/02/1885 († 80, 02/01/1966) | Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania (United States of America (USA))
Elda Furry (May 2, 1885 – February 1, 1966), known professionally as Hedda Hopper, was an American gossip columnist and actress. At the height of her influence in the 1940s, over 35 million people read her columns. A strong supporter of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings, Hopper named suspected communists and was a major proponent of the Hollywood blacklist. Hopper continued to write her gossip column until her death in 1966. Her work appeared in many magazines and later on radio. She had an extended feud with Louella Parsons, an arch-rival and fellow gossip columnist. ()
