Hedda Hopper (born Elda Furry; May 2, 1885 – February 1, 1966) was an American actress and gossip columnist, notorious for feuding with her arch-rival Louella Parsons.
She was well-known for her extravagant hats and McCarthy era red-baiting.
At the height of her power in the 1940s she commanded a 35 million strong readership.
A strong supporter of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings, Hopper named suspected communists and was a major proponent of the Hollywood blacklist.
Hopper continued to write gossip until the end of her life, her work appearing in many magazines and later on radio.
