Hybrid: House Un-American Activies Committee and the Hollywood Ten

The "Hollywood Ten" were the screenwriters, producers, and directors  who were subpoenaed but refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), thus beginning the first systematic Hollywood blacklist which lasted until 1960. Learn about the key Hollywood figures of this era and how the blacklist impacted their careers.
