Mike Rothmiller, a former LAPD detective and the co-author of the true crime book, Bombshell: The Night Bobby Kennedy Killed Marilyn Monroe (Ad Lib Publishers, 2021), said on a nationally broadcast radio talk show that the vice squad of the LAPD in the 1940s and 1950s kept detailed dossiers on Hollywood movie stars and others in the movie capital by order of the police chief. Those files, it would be safe to assume, probably surpassed anything Kenneth Anger revealed in his gossip-filled books, Hollywood Babylon and Hollywood Babylon II. Let's hope those dossiers (which probably included photographs) weren't destroyed because they would be of immense interest to historians, biographers, and movie fans.
