The Blacklist, Round 2

Share

It was remarkable that a piece about the blacklist and its relation to the current Hollywood political climate devoted only one sentence to Ed Asner.

Although one of Hollywood’s most politically visible stars, Asner’s activism went unmentioned, and stranger still, so did the price he paid for his activism--the cancellation of his CBS series, “Lou Grant,” and a relatively brief but very real period of blacklisting.
