Re “McCarthyism” one of Hollywood’s many dirty secrets is that there never was a blacklist even though they still whine about it six decades later. The so-called Hollywood 10 just kept working under pseudonyms for a few years, then began using their real names again.

McCarthy had nothing to do with the Hollywood blacklist.
McCarthy was investigating the State department and the Army for communist infiltration.

The House Un-American Committee was formed in 1938 and ran until 1975 was the one that investigated Hollywood. McCarthy did not serve on that committee nor did he testify before it.
