#10  Typical Hollywood Parlor Pink Scenario - Leo Penn (Sean's old man)

Penn advocated U.S. neutrality in the war in Europe during the period of time where the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact created a non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. After Hitler violated that pact Penn urged that America enter the war.

Penn supported the Hollywood trade unions, and refused to accuse others to the House Un-American Activities Committee. He was black-listed, and Paramount refused to renew his contract. As a result Penn was not able to work as a movie actor. He found acting work in television, but CBS ousted him after receiving an anonymous accusation that he had addressed a political meeting. Barred from acting in film or TV, he became a director.


Never mind Stalin killed more innocent people than Hitler.

At least Leo faught in the war.

#9  Parlor Pink

In 1947, her screen career came to a halt when she testified before the
House Committee on Un-American Activities and refused to answer
questions about her possible enrollment in the Communist Party.
Afterward, she continued promoting left-wing causes and married actor
Lloyd Gough. In 1954, she ran unsuccessfully as a New York lieutenant
governor candidate for the American Labor Party.

#7  Actually, given her politics, K. Morley is the d-bag of the two IRL. Poor Robert just played them expertly. (cf. BEAT THE DEVIL)
