When Watergate rocked the country thirty-five years ago, at the center of the turmoil, anonymous to everyone but Woodward and Bernstein, the President, and the President’s top aides, was W. Mark Felt, aka Deep Throat.

In 2003, the Nixon tapes were released to the Library of Congress, but it wasn’t until 2005 when Felt’s family announced his identity that America became aware of his role in our nation’s biggest scandal.

Felt passed away this week at the age of 95. Bob Woodward wrote his Washington Post obituary.

In the classic movie All the President’s Men, Woodward, played by Robert Redford, meets Felt, played by John Robard, in a dark alley. Please enjoy:

RIP, Mr. Felt.
