In November 1947, a blacklist was established in Hollywood.
Any actor, director or scriptwriter who sees his name appearing there is immediately excluded from the studios.
As the Cold War begins, any suspicion of sympathy towards the Communist Party can indeed be expensive...
One of the first artists summoned by the Un-American Activities Committee was director and screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976).
After challenging the Committee's legitimacy, he was sentenced to one year in federal prison.
Orson Wells (1915-1985) for “Citizen Kane”, his film in the form of a charge against capitalism or Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977), for his films deemed subversive and his leftist ideas, will also be blacklisted from the studios.
