#3. The Most Unexpected Agent
We've all grown up watching Disney's greatest classics, but here's something you didn't know about the Disney universe. Can you believe that Walt Disney himself served as as a secret informant for the FBI?
That's right, our favorite movie-maker served as an FBI agent from 1940 until his death in 1966, reporting suspected communists among the movie industry and entertainment world.
#2. Unusual Suspects
It's a widely known fact that during the Cold War, people who were suspected of being communists were targeted by the FBI. More often than not, they ridiculously targeted the most unusual suspects, like John Lennon.
Apparently, Lennon's pacifist ethos, anti-establishment statements, and anti-war songs were considered "inflammatory by the FBI. But what other stars did they target?
#1. Sinatra On The Watch
John Lennon wasn't the only A-list celebrity deemed untrustworthy by the bureau. Many American artists, musicians and actors were also on the watch, and Frank Sinatra was one of them.
The famous actor and singer was investigated by the FBI for five decades. Apparently, they disapproved of many of his songs, such as Ol' Blue Eyes.
