Which verified sources list Hollywood actors on Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs?

1. What the published records actually are — and what reporters found

Public releases since 2019 and additional batches in 2025 include flight logs, Epstein’s so‑called “black book” or contacts book, calendars and other documents that list names and phone numbers; media organizations have reported that these materials contain many familiar Hollywood and public‑figure names ^{[5] [6]}. Flight logs entered into evidence at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial — and copies later released or summarized by outlets — show passenger lists and dates of travel covering flights from the 1990s through the mid‑2000s ^{[7] [5]}. News outlets reviewing batches of those documents have named actors including Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, Ralph Fiennes, Dustin Hoffman and others as appearing either in flight logs or in contact lists ^{[1] [2] [3] [8] [4]}.

2. Which specific Hollywood names reporters cite most often

Different outlets highlight somewhat different names because the materials are large and partially redacted; CNN’s summary mentions actor Kevin Spacey among prominent names that appear in related documents ^[1]. Indian and international outlets listing the DOJ release and prior disclosures cite Ralph Fiennes and Dustin Hoffman among actors whose names surfaced in flight logs or contact lists ^{[2] [3]}. Aggregations and news roundups similarly include Alec Baldwin, Naomi Campbell (a model who frequently appears in lists of celebrity contacts), and others as present in the contact lists or flight logs ^{[4] [9]}. Newsweek and other compilations present broader lists of celebrities “whose names have surfaced” across the materials without asserting criminality ^[8].

3. What appearing on a flight log/contact book has meant in legal and public terms

Multiple outlets and the DOJ emphasize that names in these files can reflect a wide range of relationships — from one‑time flights or social introductions to longer associations — and do not in themselves prove participation in crimes. The DOJ explicitly said the contact list is not a client list, and a DOJ memo stated investigators “did not uncover evidence” supporting a sweeping blackmail conspiracy tied to third parties ^{[4] [5]}. Media outlets make the same distinction: many people who appear in logs have denied wrongdoing and some say their contacts were casual or limited ^{[1] [8]}.

4. Limitations, redactions and reporting caveats

The released material is incomplete and often redacted; flight manifests and calendars may also include travel with names that are redacted or identified only indirectly, and some documents were compiled from different sources and time periods ^{[10] [5]}. Journalists reviewing thousands of pages have noted that passenger lists sometimes include multiple names on the same line and that context (dates, destinations, who else was on a trip) matters for interpretation — something the raw lists do not reliably convey without corroboration ^{[10] [7]}.

5. Competing narratives and political uses of the files

Reporting shows the documents have been used both to press for transparency and as fodder for speculation and partisan claims. Congressional efforts in 2025 sought broader public disclosure of “Epstein files,” and some political figures have asserted selective release or framing of material for advantage; others warn against leaping from appearance in these records to allegations of criminality ^{[11] [5]}. The public debate therefore mixes factual cataloging of names with contested interpretations and political agendas.

6. How to interpret future disclosures

If additional pages are released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act or through prosecutions, expect more names to be identified and for reporting to continue distinguishing mere presence on logs/contacts from documented involvement in crimes. Current reporting makes clear that many high‑profile names appear in the flight logs and contact lists, but available sources stress that inclusion alone is not proof of illicit conduct and that investigators and courts, not lists, determine criminal liability ^{[1] [5] [4]}.
