Boris Morros

The mysterious "Mr Guver" letter, sent to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover in 1943 from an anonymous source, who is now widely believed to be KGB Officer Vasily Mironov, named Morros as an agent working with Soviet intelligence and identified Elizabeth Zarubina as Morros' contact.

Soviet intelligence wanted to use an investment from the Sterns in Morros' sheet music company to serve as cover for espionage.

As a double-agent for the FBI, Morros solicited funds from the MGB (the Soviet intelligence service) to create a U.S. television network.

Like the Boris Morros Music Company, the network would have served as espionage cover, but the MGB never funded the venture.

His movie production credits include The Flying Deuces (1939) with Laurel and Hardy, and Second Chorus (1940) with Paulette Goddard and Fred Astaire.
