Hollywood Babylon by Kenneth Anger is a controversial and salacious account of Hollywood’s darkest scandals, covering everything from affairs and drug use to tragic deaths and criminal activity. Originally published in 1959 and later banned, the book blends fact, rumor, and gossip, making it both infamous and unreliable as a historical source. Anger paints a lurid portrait of classic Hollywood, exposing the industry’s underbelly with a mix of sensationalism and tabloid-style storytelling. J
