It is a brain-melting take. As though celebrities didn't name names at HUAC and then use that to further their own careers. And then was elected governor of California and then president.

Many more positive examples than HUAC. Actors like Burt Lancaster and Robert Ryan promoted left-wing causes. Pro-labor and anti-fascist actors and directors spoke out decades before that. Yes, there were certain social justice subjects, i.e. feminism, that were harder to find.
