Eliot Ness (April 19, 1903-May 16, 1957) Was an american prohibition agent who in 1956 collaborated with writer Oscar Fraley to write a book that dramatized his acts of law enforcement during the 1930s. After his death, this portrayal of his life would be adapted into the two feature films The Scarface Mob(1959), which served as the pilot to a long running TV series, and The Untouchables(1987).
