Hunter took a
supporting role in the Ginger Rogers film ''Tender Comrade,'' about young women
living communally during World War II, a film that was, beyond a doubt, pro-Soviet.
It was cited, years later, as a reason that her name appeared in ''Red Channels,''
a 1950's pamphlet naming suspected Communist sympathizers.
Hunter said
she traced her problems with the blacklist to a world peace symposium that she
helped sponsor in 1949.
''Gradually
it became sort of clear,'' she said. ''I think CBS was first. I was on the
blacklist at CBS. No more CBS television. Then I think ABC dropped out and
then, finally, it was NBC. And then by that time, I won my Oscar for the movie
of 'Streetcar,' but I could not work in films. The last film I made was in
1951.''
She said her hiatus from the screen lasted until 1956, however
the record says otherwise.
