A Strange Angel
In 2018, a CBS All Access series about Parsons came out entitled “Strange Angel,” based on the 2006 book of the same name, written by George Pendle. The author, who is also a journalist, was doing some research in 2002 and unexpectedly stumbled upon the mad scientist. He was immediately intrigued.
“I was doing [a story] on a guy called Kenneth Anger, an avant-garde filmmaker,” Pendle revealed to The Post. “And there was a footnote [in a biography] which said, ‘Marjorie Cameron, an actress, had been married to an eccentric rocket scientist, Jack Parsons, who has an interest in the occult.’ And I was just like, ‘Tell me more!’”
