Finally, an actor who was actually blacklisted by the studios


A character actor, Corey made 70 films between 1938 and 1951. He was uncredited in 32 of them.  The studios, not the government, blacklisted actor Jeff Corey Born Arthur Zwerling)  after his obnoxious and confrontational appearance before the HUAC on September 21, 1951. An active communist named Marc Lawrence named Corey as a communist. To the press, Corey insisted that attended meetings but was never a member of the party, but he refused to answer the same question before Committee. He refused to remove his sunglasses before the Committee and refused to answer a series of questions put to him. When he was asked a question he didn’t like, he tried to involve the UN charter Bill of Rights, but the Committee refused to let him involve the right. “The UN” the chairman said “has nothing to do with this”
