Big-Time Celebrities Who Don't Get Hired Anymore

Arthur Miller

Famous playwright Arthur Miller was arrested after his release of "The Crucible" which details a 1600s style witch hunt. In the story, he drew obvious direct comparisons to the state of the film industry. He was questioned by authorities who manipulated him into admitting the true intention of the story. He was held in "contempt of Congress."

Judy Holliday

Judy Holliday built her career off of being the "ditzy" pretty girl. During the Red Scare, she was accused of ties to Communism (who wasn't?) but was able to get them off of her back by using her airhead attitude. She was so close to following in the footsteps of many others and only got out of it by playing dumb very well.
