“77 Sunset Strip” was a bit before my time, but I remember “The FBI”. I used to watch that show every week when I was young.
I also remember Efrem Zimbalist as a Reagan supporter and California GOP delegate to the national convention.
“EZ” told the media back in those days (and it caused a bit of a stir) that “conservative actors” faced challenges finding work in Hollywood.
In my estimation its gotten quite a bit worse in the years since he said that.
I had to take their word for it. We didn't get a color TV until 1974. The series was over by then.
Gotten worse? Almost certainly. I recall Charlton Heston supposedly told Tom Selleck that even though there were fewer and fewer conservatives in Hollywood, one out of every three did go on to become President of the United States.
It is exponentially worse
Hollywood is run by Christ hating nihilistic progressives and queer nation
Few exceptions...Hollywood had plenty patriots and Christians and like minded Jews back then
Today it is wholly different
Take Disney...over half their executive management committee is homosexual
A great actor—devoted to his craft. RIP. You will be missed.
