HOLLYOOD CONSERVATIVES

Sylvia Sydney---staunch Republican and conservative.
Memorable co-starring w/ George Raft.
Later appeared in one of the "Omen" sequels.

Film legend Ginger Rogers was another Hollywood conservative and lifelong Republican and appeared in the Nixon-Lodge Bumper Sticker Modorcade in Los Angeles in 1960.

Her biographers all considered Rogers to have been Fred Astaire's finest dance partner, principally because of her ability to combine dancing skills, natural beauty, and exceptional abilities as a dramatic actress and comedienne, thus truly complementing Astaire, a peerless dancer who sometimes struggled as an actor and was not considered classically handsome. The resulting song and dance partnership enjoyed a unique credibility in the eyes of audiences.

Ravishingly beautiful Loretta Young was a lifelong Republican. In 1952 she appeared in radio, print, and magazine ads in support of Dwight D. Eisenhower and was in attendance at his inauguration along with Anita Louise, Louella Parsons, Jane Russell, Dick Powell, June Allyson, and comic Lou Costello, among others.

In both 1968 and 1981 she was a vocal supporter of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. She was also an active member of the Hollywood Republican Committee with close friend Irene Dunne as well as Ginger Rogers, William Holden, George Murphy, Fred Astaire, and John Wayne.

Superstar director Leo McCarey was a devout Roman Catholic and deeply concerned with social issues. He was considered the most handsome director in Hollywood---a Cary Grant look-alike.

During the 1940s, McCarey's work became more serious and his politics more conservative. In 1944 he directed Going My Way, a story about an enterprising priest, the youthful Father Chuck O'Malley, played by Bing Crosby, for which McCarey won his second Best Director Oscar.

McCarey's share in the profits of this smash hit gave him the highest reported income in the U.S. for the year 1944, and its follow-up, The Bells of St. Mary's (1945), which was made by McCarey's own production company, was similarly successful.

Going My Way also produced the fanciful hit song sung by Bing, "Would you like to swing on a star."

Gloria Swanson 1922

Swanson's most celebrated role--was as faded silent star Norma Desmond--1950. In 1980 Gloria Swanson chaired the New York chapter of "Seniors for Reagan-Bush". In 1964, Swanson spoke at the "Project Prayer" rally attended by 2,500 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Swanson declared, "Under God we became the freest, strongest, wealthiest nation on earth, Should we change that?"

The gathering, which was hosted by Anthony Eisley, a star of ABC's Hawaiian Eye series, sought to flood the United States Congress with letters in support of school prayer, following two decisions in 1962 and 1963 of the United States Supreme Court which struck down the practice as in conflict with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Joining Swanson and Eisley at the Project Prayer rally were Walter Brennan, Lloyd Nolan, Rhonda Fleming, Pat Boone, and Dale Evans.

Both Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were Republicans. Comic star ZaSu Pitts was a staunch Republican---she mentored starlet Nancy Davis (Reagan).

If Harvey Weinstein looked like Brad Pitt instead of Jabba the Hutt, the Hollywood Liberals would be defending him like they defended Bill Clinton.

Let’s see if the latest charges against Clooney and Afleck gain any steam. If they do, I will retract the above statement.

Too handsome and Liberal to fail...

[GOPJ]

Yes, I remember when films were made for grown up Americans and NOT for 14 year old boys and foreign countries that loved mayhem, violence and very limited dialog.

It's almost like modern Hollywood looked at the list and made movies FROM the list... Nice find Liz...

These abused and misused young Hollywood actresses are taking out their inner rage at Weinstein (and his clones) on Donald Trump. Many people, liberal and conservative and middle can take an easy guess at this transference. You do not have to be a genius. They hate their Hollywood tormentors/employers/abusers but cannot say so until Weinstein exploded.

So as a form of shifting the blame they raged at Donald Trump and still do. Lets see if these female crazies wake up a bit and tone it done a bit in the Weinstein aftermath.

Of course young gay dudes and children are in play for Hollywood producers procurers degenerates pedophiles and so on and have been for decades along with the young actresses.

What is interesting to me is that under the “feminist” liberal president Obama, the victims remained silent in fear about Weinstein’s abuses. Now, under the allegedly “misogynist” President Trump, these women at last feel free to speak freely.

Add a new moniker for DJT, Protector in Chief!

they are afraid what they would find out

They already know - the bedrock of liberalism is hypocrisy.

[Baynative]

"Have you ever heard a contemporary woman described, with respect, as “modest”?"

It is indeed a thing of the past. When I was unfortunate to live in Washington state a very popular bumper sticker I saw a lot said "Well behaved women seldom make history". I think that can be taken in several ways.

When I was in high school (a long time ago) girls wore plain gold circle pins to signify virginity. They were proud to do so.

[EdnaMode]

That makes sense. The ones who scream the loudest seem the most suspicious.

[EdnaMode]

Totally agree. Trump is an easy target for them since he can’t make or break their careers.

[Vaduz]

Abandoned it in 1968 and sank to the bottom at a high rate of speed to never return Ship Hollywood to Mexico they like drugs any way.

[yoe]

Fox is guilty of forcing their female news/finance women to become the story, not the actual story, rather than the bright oung women the are, Fox makes them into eye-candy.

(Maria Bartiroma) just behind President Trump...who cared about the speech......

It is hard to take the bright, witty, and learned Judge Jeanine dressed imho, unsuitably for her brim-'n-hellfire sermons.

Oh well, sure takes the edge off the horrid news....

....Did Fox think they have priests as their directors etc.....

[Yaelle]

Sadly, the Hays code only applied to on screen behavior.

[Yaelle]

Great photo.

Actors have been useful tools for the Left for a long time. Often their compromised personal lives helped motivate them...

[Yaelle]

There are so few famous Hollywood conservatives. There might be more in the closet. As a Jew I’m not thrilled with public school prayer, but neither do I feel that school should be made prayerfree and Bible free. I’d like to see more big names step proudly out of the leftist bubble. Weinstein’s fall may help precipitate this.

[Yaelle]

Again, I’d like to see a more politically diverse Hollywood.

I’m so sad that the CMAs have not been as openly anti Left as they used to be. It was one reason for me to become a country fan four years ago.

Hollywood has been trying to get even for Joseph McCarthy outing them for the past 60+ years.

McCarthy was outing commies in GOVERNMENT

HUAC went after Hollywood

[Liz]

============================================

Wikipedia ----The Committee for the First Amendment was an action group formed in September 1947 by actors in support of the Hollywood Ten during the hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). It was founded by screenwriter Philip Dunne, actress Myrna Loy, and film directors John Huston and William Wyler.

Other members included Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall,[1] Jules Buck, Dorothy Dandridge, Bette Davis, Melvyn Douglas, Henry Fonda, John Garfield,[1] Judy Garland, Ira Gershwin,[1] June Havoc, Sterling Hayden, Paul Henreid, Katharine Hepburn, Lena Horne, Marsha Hunt,[1] Danny Kaye,[1] Gene Kelly,[1] Evelyn Keyes, Burt Lancaster, Groucho Marx, Burgess Meredith, Vincente Minnelli, Edward G. Robinson, Robert Ryan, Frank Sinatra, Kay Thompson, Billy Wilder, and Jane Wyatt.[1]

On October 27, 1947, members of the group flew to Washington, D.C. to protest HUAC hearings. Their involvement was ineffective, and membership in this group came to be regarded with suspicion.[2] Ira Gershwin, for one, was called before the California anti-Communist Tenney Committee and asked to explain his participation.[3]

Still....I tend to think having filmdom adhere to the Hayes Code might have been a good model for their personal lives.

Interesting you should mention not being enthusiastic about prayer in schools....b/c I just read.....at the time this was a big issue, a rabbi on TV said he was not at all concerned.

Seems his sister was once chosen to depict the Virgin Mary in a public school pageant on the Nativity.
