Hays was Will Greer’s partner. Yes, Will Greer, Grandpa Walton of
“The Waltons” tv show. Sick and disgusting with all those kids on the show. There was something creepy about him before I knew what he was.
You mean Will Geer? He was also CPUSA, like Hay, and a Dalton Trumbo pal. These were part of the Hollywood Communist underground Ronald Reagan struggled with and HUAC went after.
Geer also appeared with Burt Lancaster and Robert Ryan in “Executive Action”, a Trumbo screed that blamed JFK’s murder on evil Texas oil moguls, other conservative Texans, and the CIA — the galactic epicenter of evil.
