I am familiar with a number of the founding members of the ACLU , can’t think of any who were born “on the brink of the 20th century”.? Morris Ernst seems to come closest; he was born in 1888.
In addition to identifying the protagonist I think? the logline needs to be a little more specific about the ghost in the character’s past, whether it be Roger Baldwin’s initial infatuation with the? Soviet Union under Stalin.? Or Morris Ernst’s support of the FBI’s persecution of? American communists.? Because I’m guessing the ghost is the story hook.?

Also for your consideration, see my notes on the logline for Warren Beatty’s film “Reds”, based upon the life of? the radical writer and eye witness to the Russian revolution, John Reed.

And when she no longer can, out of economic desperation she turns to forging celebrity letters.? She’s just trying to survive, make end meets.? ?And to do that by forgery entails maintaining a low profile.
