Mae Brussell (May 29, 1922 – October 3, 1988) was a conspiracy theorist and radio personality.
Born in Beverly Hills, California, Mae was the daughter of the prominent Wilshire Boulevard Temple Rabbi Edgar Magnin[1] and great-granddaughter of Isaac Magnin, founder of the I. Magnin clothing stores.
In her early life, she was a married housewife with five children and living in Southern California. After the Kennedy assassination, she bought the 26-volume Warren Commission Hearings [2] and started studying, for herself, the evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone assassin.
In May 1971, after seven years of research, Mae appeared as a guest on KLRB, a local FM radio station independently owned. The response to her appearance was so good she became a regular weekly guest and afterward had her own talk show Dialogue: Conspiracy (later changed to World Watchers International). In 1983 Mae's show moved to KAZU FM in Pacific Grove (picked up a by listener-sponsored) and there it stayed until her last broadcast (#862) on June 13, 1988. On October 3rd of that year, at age 66, Mae died of cancer.
She also published articles in Paul Krassner's magazine The Realist.
