"Hollywood was pretty good until the mid 1960's"
Except for the communists there in the 30's, 40's & 50's.
Lucille Ball was a registered commie. Supposedly she joined the CPUSA in the 30's to 'please' her grand-father - yeah, sure. And when I found out John Garfield was a commie, I quit watching any of his movies on TCM. (And why the heck did he have a girls nick name - Julie? What was that all about?!?)
As far as I'm concerned J Edgar Hoover should've arrested them ALL and shipped them to mother Russia on a tramp steamer.

Really? I had no idea. I only knew her personal life with the Cuban, forget his name, was tumultuous.
