The Elusive Eleven includes Woody Allen, Marlon Brando, Johnny Carson, Bob Dylan, Dustin Hoffman, Steve McQueen, Al Pacino, Elvis Presley, Robert Redford, Frank Sinatra, and Barbra Streisand.

Brando and Dylan shun publicity, while Sinatra and Streisand face lasting press tensions. McQueen’s romance with Ali MacGraw and his reclusiveness are highlighted as emblematic.

State Auditor Ferguson confirmed the broader failure to audit.
