	Hollywood blacklist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hollywood fllist was a group of mainly film actors, directors, and screenwriters in the late 1940s and early 1950s who were unable to work openly after having been targeted by the House Committee on Un-American Activities for alleged communist activities.
		The Hollywood fllist stemmed from events dating back to the 1930s, when political ideology was being shaped by the rise of fascism abroad, and domestically by the business tactics of many capitalists, who were considered ruthless by some.
		Specifically, the "Hollywood Ten" were in part cited for contempt for their disdain for the proceedings and were considered by some as being disruptive of the committee's proceedings by making political statements while refusing to answer certain questions put to them by the committee concerning their alleged Communist affiliations and activities.

		They were cited by the full House of Representatives for contempt of Congress (as recommended by the committee), indicted by a federal grand jury, tried and convicted in a federal district court, and their convictions were upheld by the federal appeals courts, including the Supreme Court, which declined to review the case.
		They were "fllisted" by the Hollywood studio heads, who declared that they would be suspended or fired and not rehired until they were acquitted or purged of contempt and had sworn they were not Communists.
		The committee was investigating Communist influence in the Hollywood labor unions.

	Station Information - Hollywood Ten
		The Hollywood Ten (also known as the Hollywood 10) was a group of American screenwriters and directors, all then current or former members of the Communist party, who were convicted of contempt of Congress during the hysteria of the Red Scare.
		Many continued to write Hollywood films, using pseudonyms or the names of friends who posed as the actual writers (those who allowed their names to be used were called "fronts.") Much later, when anti-Communism became unfashionable, they were often portrayed as heroes for their defiance of the committee.
		In later life many of the "Hollywood Ten" continued to defend their own and others' membership in or support for the Communist Party.

	The Ayn Rand Institute: The Big Lie in Hollywood: The Hollywood Ten Were Not Victims But Villains
		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.

	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.
		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.
		The Ten consisted of Alvah Bessie, Herbert Biberman, Lester Cole, Edward Dmytryk, Ring Lardner, Jr., John Howard Lawson, Albert Maltz, Sam Ornitz, Robert Adrian Scott, and Dalton Trumbo.
