“The most important critic is time.” > Rouben Mamoulian
Blacklisted for the last third of his life, Mamoulian’s films - Becky Sharp (1935), Golden Boy (1939), and Mark of Zorro (1940) - succeeded in proving him right💯

#AlgerHiss was released from prison on #ThisDayInHistory in 1954. He was accused of spying for the #USSR in the 1930s, and gaoled for perjury when they couldn't make that stick. No evidence has been found that shows him a spy, and his life was ruined by #HUAC based on rumour.

In 1947 on #ThisDayInHistory, the #HollywoodTen were cited for contempt of Congress by #HUAC and then blacklisted in the entertainment industry. The #HollywoodBlacklist grew in the following years, keeping known #leftists from writing, directing, or acting in Hollywood pictures.

This was part of the Red Scare, when some Republican members of Congress accused some script and screenplay writers of thought crimes. To be clear, the accused had not committed any actual crimes. The ten blacklisted individuals simply refused - on principle - to testify before Congress. They believed the Republicans’ actions on this issue violated the U.S. Constitution. The Hollywood Ten were right. A couple of legal cases in the 1960s and 70s found that Red Scare laws banning communist sympathies were, in fact, NOT legal.
A b/w photo, taken in 1950, of members of the Hollywood Ten and their families protesting the impending incarceration of the screenwriters who refused to speak to the House UnAmerican Activities Committee. This is a screenshot from the documentary film Legacy of the Hollywood Blacklist (1987)
On this day in 1947, the Hollywood Ten were blacklisted by movie studios. The ten men who refused to testify before the House of Representatives Committee on Un-American Activities, were told they would not be hired, employed, or paid by the movie studios.

“The show began on Monday, October 20, 1947. Microphones & loudspeakers amplified the air, floodlights swung from the majestic chandeliers, and lawmen steered the crowd of hundreds eager to get a glimpse of Gary Cooper or Robert Montgomery," John Sbardellati. books.google.com/books?id=Lom... #HUAC

100 years on the right side of history. Seems it wasn't always easy.
But it looks important from here.

It won't be long now and the #GOP will be talking about bringing #HUAC back. #McCarthyism didn't die, it just got plastic surgery, a spray tan and a bad hairpiece.

You know, in a #society where so many #celebrities have massive followings and easy access to publicity or #socialmedia, it's #disappointing to see so few speak out against #POTUS. There were more celebrities that spoke out against #HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee, for the uninitiated)

That’s correct. My family also impacted. Sadly, many don’t understand what McCarthyism & the witch-hunts did not only to Hollywood but to lives across the U.S. It was terrifying. Anyone could be dragged before #HUAC 4 anything & the only way “out” was to snitch. Many falsely accused others.
