If Burgess Meredith was blacklisted, he was the busiest
blacklisted actor in the history of Hollywood. Not listed here are his
extensive credits on radio and as a TV commercial pitchman (Mostly voice-over)
He claimed that in 1947 when the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC)
subpoenaed a group of film writers because of alleged Communist affiliations,
that he took to the streets and protested and had to flee to England to find
work.
I could find no
mention of him speaking out against the HUAC, in newspapers or magazine, from
