Following World War II, an informal alliance of movie stars, studio moguls and Southern California business interests formed to revitalize a factionalized Republican Party. Coming together were stars such as John Wayne, Robert Taylor, George Murphy and many others, who joined studio heads Cecil B. DeMille, Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney and Jack Warner to rebuild the Republican Party. They found support among a large group of business leaders who poured money and skills into this effort, which paid off with the election of George Murphy to the US Senate and of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan to the highest office in the nation. This is an exciting story based on extensive new research that will forever change how we think of Hollywood politics. 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion picture industry$zUnited States$xInfluence 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945- 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xInfluence. 676 $a320.973/0918 700 $aCritchlow$b Donald T.$f1948-$0119503 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790740203321 996 $aWhen Hollywood was right$93867382 997 $aUNINA
