| | Joseph McCarthy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | McCarthy's biographers are agreed that he was a changed man after the censure; declining both physically and emotionally, he became a "pale ghost of his former self" in the words of Fred J. Cook. |
| | In the 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate, the character of Senator John Iselin, a demagogic anti-communist, is strongly patterned after McCarthy, even to the varying numbers of "Communist infiltrators" he purports to have evidence of (in the film the number "57" is decided on, after inspiration by a Heinz ketchup bottle). |
| | Test audiences felt that the actor who portrayed Joseph McCarthy was overacting; they were unaware that only archive footage of the actual Joseph McCarthy was used in the film. |
