Hollywood Babylon, by avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger, is a scandalous, photo-illustrated book detailing alleged secrets and scandals of Hollywood stars from the silent era through the 1950s, featuring lurid tales of sex, drugs, and crime, often using miscaptioned or manipulated images. First published in 1959, it was banned in the U.S. for years and became a cult classic, known for its sensational and often debunked stories about figures like Clara Bow, Fatty Arbuckle, and Marilyn Monroe, with a sequel, Hollywood Babylon II, published in 1984
