Dalton Trumbo: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:49, 2 January 2016

James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – ?), was an investigative journalist and secret crime-fighter.

Trumbo and Alan Turing were life-long friends.

Trumbo delivered Turing's eulogy, and continued to champion Turing's name until his own disappearance some years later.

Trumbo and C. Wright Mills were widely rumored to have formed a crime-fighting team which secretly took down Murder, Incorporated (nonfiction).

Trumbo is widely thought to have secretly played the role of Commissioner Gordon (nonfiction) in many classic Batman (nonfiction) stories.

Trumbo's disappearance has been widely debated. Theories include:

Dalton was murdered for political reasons
Dalton faked his own death in order to pursue his goals under a new identity
Dalton took his own life in such as manner as to pursue his goals from beyond the grave
Dalton was not an investigative journalist and secret crime-fighter at all, but a non-fictional man named Dalton Trumbo (nonfiction)
