	HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST
		Blacklisted anew, Stander became a successful Wall Street broker, later starred in European films, and still later returned to American prominence as the chauffeur in Hart-to-Hart, one of television's top ten programs during the early 1980s.
		The group that came to exemplify resistance was the Hollywood Ten and their writing colleagues, many of whom had been in the Party.
		The fllist itself was the subject of The Way We Were (1973), which starred Barbra Streisand as a totally sympathetic Communist married to a liberal screenwriter.

	Hollywood blacklist 50 years later
		Hollywood used the recent 50th anniversary of the fllist to apologize to those victimized by it, to hail the few survivors and to add impetus to the drive to restore their personal credits to movie workers who had been forced to conceal their identity in order to put bread on the table.
		They or, in their dying or aging, those who speak for them should be prepared to re-examine the faith in a Soviet utopia that led them to overlook for years, some of them even for decades, the parade of ugly facts about what Stalin was actually doing to the peoples he repressed, including his own.
		Some of the fllisted evidently are still not of a mind to review their past political judgments.

	"The Hollywood Blacklist"--by Dan Georgakas
		The result was bad press for Hollywood and a feeling by producers that their radical writers were vying with the committee for sensational headlines at the industry's expense.
		Active in the Salinas Valley lettuce strike, the Tom Mooney case, the Scottsboro defense, guild campaigns, antifascist work, and other left-wing causes, Stander said he had not joined the CP because he was to the left of it.
		The Hollywood Left began to revive in the late-1960s and, unlike the student New Left, the new Hollywood rebels, although not connected with the CP, felt warmly toward their predecessors and occasionally worked with them on joint projects.

	theOneRepublic - The Hollywood Left and the Real Blacklist by Wes Vernon
		Hollywood's earnest belief appears to be that anyone who attains show-business celebrity—actor, producer, or writer—is automatically possessed of more political wisdom than the rest of us.
		The Hollywood culture is such that known identified religious or political conservatives believe they must try harder to succeed or (perhaps before establishing their celebrity) stay "in the closet" about their beliefs.
		Nonetheless, the dominant leftists in Hollywood insist it is they who are the "victims." For 50 years now, they have been wailing at the "evils" of the "fllist" of the Forties and Fifties.

	The Hollywood Blacklist
		The investigation of Hollywood radicals by the House on Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 and 1951 was a continuation of pressures first exerted in the late 1930s and early 1940s by the Dies Committee and State Senator Jack Tenney's California Joint Fact-finding Committee on Un-American Activities.
		HUAC returned for a second Hollywood round in 1951 but the proceedings were not true investigations.
		The new Hollywood activists were not immune from career threats.

		Rather, what concerned HUAC and the studios that abetted its investigation was the leftists' political activity in the real world: their support for striking farm workers, for example, or -- more alarmingly -- their attempts to organize those working in the industry itself.
		Whatever the reason, those with the integrity not to submit to HUAC were compelled, often at the height of successful careers, to find some other way of making a living.
		For the most part, though, as this catalogue of broken lives attests, the few laughs that the fllist produced don't dispel its tragedy and shame.

	Elia Kazan — the Hollywood left
		But mention the little matter of Hollywood's left-wing fllist — the one the American mainstream media suppressed — and you will be met with disbelieving stares.
		Not in the sense that an actual fllist exists but through peer group pressure and the fear that if one's Republican (fascist in Hollywood) sympathies were made known one's career prospects would quickly come to a halt.
		This was made sickeningly clear when the Hollywood left blocked the distinguished director Elia Kazan's nomination by colleagues for the lifetime achievement award given each year by the American Film Institute and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

	WorldNetDaily: Bring back Hollywood blacklist
		Many in Hollywood today cling to the belief that their collective refusal to answer was based on a bold, principled stand against an inquisition into artists' personal political convictions.
		Hollywood, because of its wealth and influence, was a prime target.
		While many in Hollywood today decry the effort to root out the communists as "censorship" and the unfairness of the fllisting that followed, they conveniently overlook the fact that the communists instituted those practices in the movie industry.

		A number of Hollywood directors, screenwriters, and actors had joined the Communist Party or contributed funds to its activities during the Depression of the 1930s.
		To counter what they claimed were reckless attacks by HUAC, a group of Hollywood liberals led by actor Humphrey Bogart, his wife Lauren Bacall, John Huston, William Wyler, Gene Kelly and others, established the “Committee for the First Amendment” (CFA).
		After all, the Hollywood Ten who were all held in contempt of congress, later admitted to being or having been members of the Communist Party.

		The anniversary of the Hollywood fllist against the Hollywood Ten and other communists in Hollywood has brought an outpouring of sympathy and apologies to the "victims," along with incessant moral lessons from the media about this "dark" period in American history.
		The Communist Party championed by the Hollywood Ten was the same Party that -- under the leadership of Joseph Stalin--exterminated millions of peasants in the Ukraine.
		While the Hollywood Communists and apologists talked of peace, brotherhood, and workers' rights, their spiritual masters were perpetrating what is arguably the most murderous tyranny in world history, its victims estimated at 20-40 million people--not including the tens of millions relegated to a sub-human existence.

		Last month, the Hollywood establishment, in the form of the American Film Institute and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, denied Kazan a lifetime achievement award, thereby continuing to shun one of its most accomplished artists.
		For as Kazan himself wrote, defending his decision to testify, the communists in Hollywood were the first to fllist artists in any organization and on any project they happened to control.
		His latest books are The Professors, which documents the debasement of the academic curriculum by tenured leftists and The Shadow Party, which describes the radical left's control of the Democratic Party's electoral machine.

		In 1948 Dmytryk became one of the "Hollywood Ten" when he was accused of having ties to the communist party and was sentenced to a year in prison for contempt of Congress.
		He was also one of the most outspoken of Hollywood's left-wing community, alienating many of his more cautiously liberal friends by doggedly insisting that there was no anti-Semitism in Stalin's Russia (he later backed off on this assertion when confronted by the cold, hard facts).

		By the late 1970s, "the subtle articulation of politics as ethical sentiment" was now "the very oxygen of liberal television." Besides sitcoms and kids' shows, leftists went into B movies, particularly science fiction and horror genres, where themes of human mutation, nuclear holocaust and alien invasion served as (sometimes clunky) vehicles for political messages.

		The remaining nine were fllisted by the Hollywood film community and found themselves forced to use pseudonyms in order to sell scripts.
		Yet, even as HUAC and the subsequent fllist served to limit and control the content and system of production and financing of Hollywood films, other forces were working against censorship and tight studio control.
		Furthermore, distributors (whether they were the Hollywood studios or not) were forced to carry these films because they had fewer titles to choose from, and, perhaps more important, because they realized that these films would make a great deal of money.

		A landmark fllist film was the adaptation for television of the memoirs of radio personality John Henry Faulk, Fear on Trial (1975).
		It was part of the charade of the fllist era, when producers who wanted the work of forbidden writers pretended to believe that the scripts came from someone else.
		Ceplair says that movies about the fllist have missed the boat, leaving out "the whole context of what was going on." The stories are inevitably about the investigations and hearings, he says, and not about why some people in Hollywood were attracted to communism in the first place.
