More than sixty years ago, McCarthyism silenced Hollywood. In this book, those who were suppressed, whose lives and careers were ruined, finally have their say. A unique collection of profiles in cinematic courage, this oral history brings to light the voices of thirty-six blacklist survivors (including two members of the Hollywood Ten), seminal directors, starring actresses and supporting players, top screenwriters, and many less known to the public whoare rescued from obscurity by the stories they offer here that, beyondpolitics, open a window into moviemaking during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
