Uncle Earl (1985)

Earl K. Long is the only sitting governor ever committed to a mental institution, not once, but twice. Long was far from the “crazy country bumpkin” some claimed him to be. He was a sharp, fearless politician and a champion of working-class Louisianans. His private life also made headlines, particularly his highly publicized affair with New Orleans burlesque star Blaze Starr.
