The Hollywood Ten

ten2.jpgOn this day in 1947,  the House Un-American Activies Committee (HUAC) started investigating actors, directors, writers and producers in Hollywood.  While some in the film industry bent to the HUAC’s search for “Reds”, a select few resisted and were subsequently blacklisted by an entertainment industry that strove to appease Congress. They were also convicted of obstructing justice and served jail time.  While some of these dissidents have been long forgotten, a few of these names may still ring familiar.  Learn more about the Hollywood Ten by revisiting their lives and works:
