Timeline

1931

Jimmie Fidler began his Hollywood career as an extra in silent films. But when speaking roles did not seem likely he turned to publicity and later parlayed his connections into a career as a gossip columnistHe spent about 14 years working as a free-lance press agent, setting up an office at Sunset and Cahuenga boulevards and established a roster actors who paid his salary ranging from from $10 a week to $150 a week. His first job came from Edmund Lowe, who offered him offered him $25 a week. Fidler later signed on with Cecil B. DeMille at Famous Players-Lasky to write press releases. . He eventually moved his offices to Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street and set up his operation like a newsroom, which included "city desk," four reporters and nine studio contacts to feed him information. In 1931, he married Dorothy Lee, but they divorced less than a year later.

1934

Fidler closed his offices, and in 1934 became a press agent for a Los Angeles radio station. Josephine Dillon, the first wife of Clark Gable, worked at the station and urged Fidler to use his knowledge of the film industry to become a gossip commentator for local radio. Fidler partnered with singer and sometime actor Russ Columbo on early programs, but Columbo died before their shows gained widespread attention.

1936

His audience grew rapidly 1936 and 1940. He syndicated his "Jimmie Fidler's Hollywood" column, which appeared in 150 newspapers. His signature sign-off after each radio broadcast was "Good night to you, and you, and I do mean you!" He also established a four-bell rating system with four bells as a superb movie to one bell for a box-office bomb. To set himself apart from other gossip columnists he wrote and broadcast "open letters" to film stars, often scolding them for perceived bad behavior. He lectured Alice Faye for her failure to show up at promotional events in Pittsburgh and George Brent toying with Ann Sheridan in their relationship. He even ordered Martha Raye to stay out of nightclubs. His acid tongue soon alienated movie stars and studio execs alike.

1939

The subcommittee was investigating whether films like "Confessions of a Nazi Spy" (1939) and "Sergeant York" (1941) manipulated moviegoers with anti-Nazi messages. Testifying as an expert witness, Fidler testified that Hollywood produced "hate-breeding" movies that were anti-Nazi. He also alleged that filmmakers attempted to bribe him to write favorable reviews. Sensitive to charges of anti-Americanism, film industry executives felt betrayed by Fidler. When Fidler returned to Hollywood, actor Errol Flynn attacked Fidler at the Macambo nightclub by punching him in the face. Flynn later described Fidler to reporters as a "contemptible liar. "Yet Fidler remained popular with moviegoers.

1941
