Elia Kazan in McCarthyism & Red Scare
Elia Kazan (1909–2003) was a Hollywood movie director, winner of Academy Awards for Best Director for Gentlemen's Agreement (1947) and On the Waterfront (1954).
In the 1930s, Kazan was briefly a member of the Communist Party. When called to testify before the House Un-American-Activities Committee in 1950, he reluctantly agreed to "name names," informing against other former communists in order to avoid being blacklisted.
