The Fall of Red Hollywood --$tConclusion --$tNotes --$tIndex 330 $aBefore he attained notoriety as Dean of the Hollywood Ten-the blacklisted screenwriters and directors persecuted because of their varying ties to the Communist Party-John Howard Lawson had become one of the most brilliant, successful, and intellectual screenwriters on the Hollywood scene in the 1930's and 1940's, with several hits to his credit including Blockade, Sahara, and Action in the North Atlantic. After his infamous, almost violent, 1947 hearing before the House Un-American Activities Committee, Lawson spent time in prison and his lucrative career was effectively over. Studded with anecdotes and based on previously untapped archives, this first biography of Lawson brings alive his era and features many of his prominent friends and associates, including John Dos Passos, Theodore Dreiser, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Edmund Wilson, Ernest Hemingway, Humphrey Bogart, Dalton Trumbo, Ring Lardner, Jr., and many others. Lawson's life becomes a prism through which we gain a clearer perspective on the evolution and machinations of McCarthyism and anti-Semitism in the United States, on the influence of the left on Hollywood, and on a fascinating man whose radicalism served as a foil for launching the political careers of two Presidents: Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. In vivid, marvelously detailed prose, Final Victim of the Blacklist restores this major figure to his rightful place in history as it recounts one of the most captivating episodes in twentieth century cinema and politics. 606 $aDramatists, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aScreenwriters$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aBlacklisting of authors$zUnited States 606 $aCommunism and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTheater$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion picture industry$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDramatists, American 615 0$aScreenwriters 615 0$aBlacklisting of authors 615 0$aCommunism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xHistory. 676 $a812/.52 676 $aB 700 $aHorne$b Gerald$0850651 801 0$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248238503316 996 $aThe final victim of the blacklist$92380598 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01998nas 2200517-a 450 001 9910137201503321 005 20240820213015.0 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB1491889-4 035 $a(CKB)110978979588557 035 $a(CONSER)---92644610- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978979588557 100 $a20791123b1950201u --- b 101 0 $aspa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aBoletín de la Real Sociedad Española de Historia Natural$iSección geológica $eórgano del Instituto de Ciencias Naturales José de Acosta 210 $aMadrid $cReal Sociedad Española de Historia Natural$d1950- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aAt head of title: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. 311 08$aPrint version: Boletín de la Real Sociedad Española de Historia Natural. 0583-7510 (DLC) 92644610 (OCoLC)5724632 517 3 $aSección geológica 531 $aSECCION GEOLOGICA 531 $aREAL SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE HISTORIA NATURAL BOLETIN SECCION GEOLOGICA 531 $aBOL R SOC ESP HIST NAT SECC GEOL 531 0 $aBol.
