The blacklist was ignored by some in Hollywood. They used pseudonyms and ghost writers to get around the blacklist. The blacklist was by the AUDIENCE and some like Ed Sullivan (and the Communists he shunned WERE Communists and even then he put some on the air).
There is a blacklist of conservatives and Hollywood calls this the new normal.
Very good point. The photo-op was about 5% of her ill-will tour, and she did some other skank stuff when they ran out some American POW's to meet her. One of them reportedly passed her a note, and she gave it to the guards. All class, Left Wing style.
Joanie Baez is a good point of reference for measuring Jane in the scales. Joan went over to Hanoi on a similar propagandist-catered trip during Operation Linebacker, when Dick Nixon brought our mailed fist down on the negotiating table and repeated, "Let my people go!" after the Viet Communist pukes coolly informed Henry the K. that no, the American POW's would not be coming home as part of an agreement.
Joan was outside her air-raid shelter watching the battle one night, when a SAM bagged a B-52 pretty spectacularly, and she and her group watched it come down streaming burning fuel. Just then a French Communist puke slithered up to her and said, "It's a beautiful sight, isn't it?" And Baez just looked at him and replied, "They are my people."
That was the right answer, Jane.
Somebody ought to put that in a movie.
