Why Tom Cruise and John Travolta can't leave Scientology, according to the HBO documentary 'Going Clear'
When L. Ron Hubbard founded the Church of Scientology in February 1954 in Los Angeles, one of his main pillars in building its membership was courting celebrities. A year after the church was founded, it created a long list of celebrities to recruit, a ccording to Lawrence Wright's best-selling book " Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood & The Prison of Belief." The list reportedly included Hollywood royalty like Marlene Dietrich, Walt Disney, Jackie Gleason, John Ford, Bob Hope, and Howard Hughes. It's hard to find evidence of these legends ever entertaining the idea of joining the church, but it appears that Hubbard saw movie stars as a way of legitimizing Scientology.
