The so-called Hollywood Ten were movie industry professionals who were convicted of contempt of Congress after they refused to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Because they would not divulge names and information about Communists in the film studios, they were imprisoned for a year in 1950. Worse, they were placed on the "blacklist" of authors, actors, and directors and were refused work by the studio heads. This was an effort by Hollywood to placate lawmakers during the Red Scare, to avoid restrictive legislation and unfavorable publicity. Some managed to find work through sympathetic friends, but they could not be given official credit for their efforts. It was not until the late 1950's that the blacklist lost its hold as the "studio system" in Hollywood was phased out.
The entertainment industry played a crucial role in supporting the U.S. war effort during World War II by producing films, music, and radio programs that boosted morale and promoted patriotism. Hollywood produced propaganda films that highlighted the heroism of soldiers and the importance of the war, while celebrities participated in bond drives and fundraising events. Additionally, the industry provided escapism for troops and civilians alike, helping to maintain public spirit during the challenging wartime years. Overall, entertainment served as a vital tool for communication, inspiration, and unity.
USO had live performances for overseas troops during World War II, in which many Hollywood actors and actresses joined. This helped boost the morale of the troops.
