The Naughty American has a cracking article about the recent release of classified FBI files that dishes plenty of dirt on numerous celebrities from the 40s, 50s and 60s.

To give a quick rundown:

* Abbot and Costello both kept a huge porn collection including lots of girl-girl films.

* Frank Sinatra once refused to pay a prostitute for sex because she was too drunk.

* A gay dermatologist claimed to have “compromising photos” of Elvis Presley

* Joe DiMaggio offered an unknown person $25 grand to obtain a film showing Marilyn Monroe performing a “perverted act.”

* Jimi Hendrix was caught masturbating by members of his platoon while serving in the army.

* The FBI caught Rock Hudson at a “wild orgy” during a raid on a brothel.

* Baseball star Mickey Mantle used prostitutes and was caught in the bed of a married woman.

The FBI also tried to prosecute Andy Warhol for transporting his film Lonesome Cowboy across state lines. The report read:

“One of the male actors was performing an act of cunnilingus on [a] girl who was on the ground. A second man was licking her breasts. A third male actor was trying to stick his hat up her rectum. A fourth actor was exposing himself and had his trousers dropped to his knees and trying to have her perform an act of fellatio on him.”

Needless to say, the stern-faced FBI was far from amused. Fortunately for Warhol, he escaped prosecution – on the grounds that “at no time did the camera show penetration.”

Ah, those were the days.
