* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: Anger's 1975 book ''Hollywood Babylon'' was billed as an expose of all the hidden scandals in the movie business. In fact, almost the entire book was made up, but some of the fake stories therein, like how Creator/ClaraBow supposedly gangbanged the entire USC football team or how Creator/JayneMansfield was decapitated in her fatal car accident, have become urban legends.

Kenneth Anger (February 3, 1927 - May 11, 2023) was an American filmmaker, well-known for his ties to Creator/AleisterCrowley, the homoerotic subtext of his work, and his dabbling in the occult and black magic. A pioneer of the {{Music Video}} as well as the {{Dream Sequence}}. Also famous, or infamous depending on who you ask, as the writer of the BasedOnAGreatBigLie Hollywood gossip book ''Hollywood Babylon''. Anger occasionally promised/threatened to release a second sequel to ''Hollywood Babylon'' (''Hollywood Babylon II'' exists but is generally [[ContestedSequel ill-regarded]]) but claims that he held off on the project because he was afraid that the book (which he claimed contains lurid details about Creator/TomCruise's private life) will mark him as a target for Scientology.

* AuthorAppeal: Anger is gay and his films include a lot of muscular, half-naked men. Also, larger doses of the occult.
