Someone should tell @TheFix that Eliot Ness worked for Treasury, Clarice Starling was fictional and J. Edgar Hoover was J. Edgar Hoover. Quick thing: Eliot Ness was an investigator for the U.S. Department of Treasury who worked with the Bureau of Prohibition in Chicago. Clarice Starling also never worked with the FBI, because... she was a fictional character? Jodie Foster played her in a movie, and then Julianne Moore played her in a different movie that wasn’t as good as the first one. And yeah, J. Edgar Hoover was a monster.
