The Hollywood 10
http://www.hollywood10.com/
In 1947, Hollywood's golden era of studio production detonated in
an ugly morass of "paranoia, politics, and payback." The newly
formed House of Un-American Activities Committee singled out nine
screenwriters and one director for public ruin, and destroyed the
careers of hundreds of other blacklisted artists. Read trial
transcripts, background articles, and biographies of the key players.
Friendly witness Walt Disney testifies about a suspected communist
in his production studio: "I looked into his record and I found
that, number 1, that he had no religion and, number 2, that he had
spent considerable time at the Moscow Art Theatre studying art
direction, or something."
