Book Synopsis Only Victims by : Robert Vaughn

Download or read book Only Victims written by Robert Vaughn and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a dramatic change of role, the noted television and film star has written a vivid and incisive account of the House Committee on Un-American Activities' probe of the entertainment industry from 1938 to 1958. Formed to investigate alleged subversives, by the late fifties the committee had succeeded in ruining the careers and sometimes the lives of many of Hollywood and Broadway's top writers and performers. Quoting generously from transcripts of its hearings, Vaughn shows how the committee's primary purpose was punitive rather than legislative, and concludes that its most serious damage to American theatre and film is not easily documented: the loss of all the words never written or spoken because of the impact - and the fear - of the committee's misdeeds.
