Huey Long in culture

Huey Long, governor of Louisiana and US Senator, has inspired or been portrayed in numerous cultural works. He has served as the template for fascistic politicians in novels like It Can't Happen Here (1935), A Lion Is in the Streets (1945), and All the King's Men (1946). The latter two were adapted into Oscar-winning films.

He has also been the subject of award-winning biographies, such as T. Harry Williams's Huey Long (1970), which won the Pulitzer Prize. Ken Burns directed a 1985 documentary about Long.
