The URL is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_blacklist There are many on the list there that have ties to soap operas in some form. Many of these blacklisted performers were relegated to working in soaps too because of the black list. Eddie Albert Orson Bean Barbara Bel Geddes Alfred Drake Howard Duff Jose Ferrer Lee Grant Uta Hagen Kim Hunter Sam Jaffe (husband of soap actress, Bettye Ackerman) Leon Janney Joseph Julian George Keane (was married to the great radio soap actress, Betty Winkler) Victor Kilian Meg Mundy Anne Revere Jean Rouverol Martha Scott Ann Shepherd Gale Sondergaard Betty Winkler Lesley Woods I possibly missed some. If I did please point them out. This is a sad period in the history of the US. So many of these stars had their careers ruined by this. ETA: Some names left off the list.
