> in the mid 1970s a local reporter was hounding the company not because he suspected fraud. (Apparently the entire company was fradulent.) Nope, he wanted to reveal that Carmichael was really a man who was dressed as a woman.

That local reporter was Tucker Carlson's father, Dick Carlson.[0] Let's just say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

OMG that is amazing!

Did they mention that in the documentary? If so, I can't believe I missed it.

I don't recall if I heard it in the documentary or during an interview with the filmmaker.
