My suggestion is to include all the blacklisted. See project.
Started with Lester Cole who was the step-father of a college roommate. He was actually one of The Hollywood Ten. My parents or I knew a number of the others who were blacklisted.
I think it should go beyond "The Hollywood Ten" it should be "The Entire Blacklist" and/or it should at least include "The Jewish Blacklist" since there seems to be a large thread of anti-Semitism involved.
In fact John Garfield DIED from the effects and stress of losing his career over having been to a few left wing meetings that supported anti-Nazi movements during the war.
From an Interview with KIrk Douglas on Breaking the Blacklist:
"Though the period from the late 1940s to the late 1950s generally is known as the McCarthy era — named for the demagogic Wisconsin Sen. Joseph McCarthy — the senator’s baleful work had precedent, and it was continued by the House Un-American Activities Committee, or HUAC, even after his 1957 death.
Among the earliest HUAC targets were the Hollywood Ten, predominantly well-known screenwriters who refused to declare their political affiliations or denounce colleagues. They were cited for contempt of Congress and imprisoned for up to one year.
...six of the Hollywood Ten were Jewish, and among many politicians and compilers of “suspect” lists, charges of being a New York or Hollywood “commie symp” served as the code word for JEW!!!!!!!!!!"
Kirk Douglas with his movie “Spartacus” hired Dalton Trumbo, one of the "10", to write the screenplay ..... and Howard Fast, also blacklisted, who wrote the original book....AND THIS TIME it wasn't a secret ....everyone in Hollywood knew and thus Douglas broke the Blacklist!
Douglas was asked, was the campaign against “politically unreliable” artists fueled, at least in part, by anti-Semitism? "Of course", he answered.....
“Listen, all my life I’ve always assumed that everybody I met was an anti-Semite unless he could prove otherwise,” he said.
The Blacklist was beyond description...
IT WAS....horrific, awful, appalling, dreadful, horrifying, horrendous, abominable, frightful, fearful, shocking, ghastly, gruesome, monstrous, heinous, egregious, deplorable, despicable, execrable, vile......I suppose you get the point.
I happened on this by accident....this list seems to include everyone in show business from the 1930's to the 1950's...
THE 10 and beyond.......

Belatedly jumping into this discussion...
I've spent the past week or so working on this project and the Victims of McCarthyism/HUAC project -- adding profiles, tidying MPs, building trees, etc. It's been fun! I've been working my way through the Wikipedia list, which is the same thing we have on the project page here.
What I have not been doing is updating the index on the project page, because it's just way too much work. So if anyone feels strongly about that, you'll have to trail behind me; my apologies.
(Also, as a side note, I changed the project image simply because the one we had was the cover of a specific, copyrighted book. I'm not at all wedded to the one I've changed it to; it was just something quick and easy.)
