>>> When someone famous or otherwise notable dies, The Memory Hole often files a FOIA request for his or her FBI file. We post the ones we receive, but not everyone has a file. Mainly for the aid of other researchers, this page contains a running list of deceased people who are not the subject of a file, according to the FBI's FOIA office. (Note that even if someone doesn't have a file at FBI headquarters, it's still possible that a file exists in one or more field offices.)

Richard Avedon - photographer

Julia Child - chef, TV personality, author

Leroy Gordon Cooper - astronaut (original Mercury 7)

Rodney Dangerfield - comedian, actor

Jacques Derrida - philosopher, literary critic/theorist
