I didn't find a lot of proof that Hoover cross-dressed. I think it was more a form of homophobia against him. Do I think J. Edgar Hoover was gay? Yes. Do I think he cross-dressed? No. I think that was just one of the ways people tried to bash him because they probably had the sense that he was gay. Did he ever put on a dress? Hell, I put on my mom's undergarments when I was a kid. I didn't find much credible evidence that Hoover went out socially dressed up in women's clothes. But a script is 90 percent research about the person, and then so much about yourself ends up being in there, too. Anyone who says a movie about history is a historical document is crazy. It's a document that incorporates who that person was and who I am now.

Personally, I have never been convinced by these claims about Hoover or the various German Nazis. They seemed to me to be more about blackening names than any constructive purpose.

The only picture I've ever seen of Hoover in drag, he looked so preposterus, it was kinda obvious he was in fancy dress. If that makes him a cross dresser then a lot of kids are witches.
