[edit] Had to remove paragraph on blacklist

This paragraph was in the article:

In 1949, he was quoted as saying that Joseph McCarthy was "insane". This led to an unofficial blacklisting of him in Hollywood, and a return to Broadway, until a comeback in films in the late 1950's[1].

But if you look at the filmography, he's in movies throughout the 1950s.

I can't find any reference to this episode on the Internet other than the citation in the removed paragraph -- and that Web page states he couldn't work for 19 years which is obviously wrong as well.

So unless someone can find a source in a reliable publication about the blacklist era, I think it has to stay out. Perhaps he made the "insane" remark and was investigated, or had some trouble working, but wasn't actually blacklisted (just speculation).
