John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 -May 2, 1972) was the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States. Appointed Director of the Bureau of Investigation - predecessor to the FBI - in 1924, he was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained Director until his death aged 77. Hoover is credited with building the FBI into a large and efficient crime-fighting agency, and with instituting a number of modernizations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories.
He was also as queer as a 3 dollar bill. He carried on a decades' long affair with his FBI second-in-command, Clyde Tolson, as his catamite, and he sometimes dressed in women's clothes and went out night clubbing and attended chic cocktail parties of the rich and powerful in drag, using the name "Mary."
Hoover clung to power for almost 50 years as America's secret police chief, maintaining his position largely through the voluminous files he accumulated on the peccadilloes of prominent politicians: financial, sexual, and criminal.
