HeadlineJun 12, 2015

The documentary filmmaker, publisher, journalist and activist Ellen Ray has died at the age of 75. Ray was a co-publisher of the magazine Covert Action Information Bulletin, which exposed CIA covert actions around the world, publishing the names of hundreds of CIA agents. As a result, the law changed, making it illegal. As head of Sheridan Square Press, she published the memoir of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, which became the basis of Oliver Stone’s Academy Award-winning movie, ”JFK.” Ray is survived by her husband, attorney Bill Schaap.
