Resumo

"Golden Age" Hollywood gossip columnist and political conservative Hedda Hopper used her journalistic platform to promote anticommunist campaigns during the cold war. Analysis of letters to Hopper demonstrates her success in mobilizing her readers to participate and how, together, they made her column part of the public sphere in the United States.
