"McCarthyism" is the term used to describe the practice of making allegations of treason or
other acts of subversion without proper evidence to support it. The term stems from the effort of
Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950's to identify alleged Communists working within the
government and other institutions. The public identification led for many of these individuals to
lose their jobs or be blacklisted, despite the fact that there was no evidence to prove that they
were members of the Communist party.
The search for Communists in Hollywood had started even before McCarthy rose to prominence
with the "Hollywood Ten" in 1947, a list of workers in the film industry who were purported to
be Communist sympathizers. But McCarthy's efforts really got this movement going as
hundreds of additional individuals were identified and blacklisted. For many, their careers never
recovered. Dalton Trumbo, one of the original "Hollywood Ten," would write seventeen
movies during the 1950's, but wouldn't receive credit for any of them due to being blacklisted.
Kirk Douglas argued for his writing credit to be reinstated for the movie "Spartacus" in 1960, a
fact that was again brought up during the Golden Globes a few days ago when they were
honoring Douglas.
