Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee) Hollywood hearings resulted in the blacklisting of numerous individuals in the entertainment industry who were suspected of having communist ties or sympathies and refused to cooperate with the committee. This led to careers being ruined and people being ostracized professionally. There was no solid evidence of a widespread communist conspiracy, nor were there many prosecutions or convictions of individuals deemed subversive. The hearings did not lead to a broad realization about the communist threat in America; rather, they fueled the Red Scare and paranoia about communism.
