As the Cold War with the Soviet Union began in earnest, the search for 'Reds under the bed', later led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, was felt most keenly in Hollywood where the investigations were carried out under the full glare of the flashlights. Painstakingly researched and drawing on numerous exclusive interviews, the book charts the generation of actors who found their livelihood ruined by being 'blacklisted' and the writers forced to hire 'fronts' to continue to work; it reveals how Arthur Miller was offered the chance to have his hearing dropped in return for a photo-opportunity with Marilyn Monroe; and how Kirk Douglas's naming of Dalton Trumbo as the writer of Spartacus signalled the end of this extraordinary era. Witch Hunt in Hollywood is the definitive account of how political paranoia shaped cinema for a decade. Michael Freedland is an author, journalist and broadcaster. He has written over 40 books, many of them telling the stories of the Hollywood greats, from Frank Sinatra to Al Jolson. He is also a BBC broadcaster and writes regularly for national newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Communism and motion pictures $z United States. 650 0 $a Blacklisting of authors $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Blacklisting of entertainers $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Anti-communist movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Political persecution $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Anti-communist movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810317 650 7 $a Blacklisting of authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833873 650 7 $a Blacklisting of entertainers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833874 650 7 $a Communism and motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870516 650 7 $a Motion picture industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027150 650 7 $a Political persecution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069448 651 7 $a California $z Los Angeles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204540 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Svartlistning, USA. $2 sfit 650 7 $a Kommunism, USA. $2 sfit 650 7 $a Politik och film, USA. $2 sfit 650 7 $a Film $x politiska aspekter $z FoÌrenta staterna. $2 sao 650 7 $a McCarthyismen. $2 sao 650 7 $a Svartlistning $z FoÌrenta staterna. $2 sao 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Paskin, Barbra. 941 $a 1 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508020246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A66DE54C90F111EA86A69E4897128E48 994 $a 92 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
