<< Especially troublesome to him and others was the fact that the
Communist Party in Hollywood used intimidation and peer pressure and made
life
difficult for those who would not comply. Reagan realized that many actors
and
actresses belonged to these organizations out of naivete, but he was worried
about the message and pro-communist attitudes that were being slipped into
movies. The film colony was deeply sympathetic to the Russian version of
communism, and films and attitudes often showed that sympathy.
Additionally, actors and actresses who refused to go along were blacklisted
by
the left. People such as Barbara Stanwyck and Bette Davis were hardly right-
wing types, but they were angry at the pressure being put on them to join the
party, so they appealed to Reagan. Unfortunately, in later years an
ungrateful
Bette Davis made snide remarks about the man who had tried to address her
complaints. >>
These paragraphs are almost comic when one hears about what happened to
anyone even suspected of being mildly pink a short time later. Prudy
