Hollywood Party: Stalinist Adventures in the American Movie Industry

"Mr. Billingsley's book is the best exploration I've seen of the Hollywood blacklist and the Communist Party's role in that conflict," wrote Charlton Heston. "Hollywood Party covers it all with insight, meticulous research and some wry perceptions." "For years we've been treated to the left-with version of the Hollywood blacklist," wrote Radical Son author David Horowitz. "Now Lloyd Billingsley has provided us with the rest of the story." "Hollywood Party is an absolutely captivating achievement," wrote Richard Grenier, author of Capturing the Culture and The Marrakesh One-Two. "Now the whole story can be told," wrote Gary McVey of the Los Angeles International Film Festival. "No future backstage history of Hollywood can be called complete without taking into account the evidence Lloyd Billingsley has uncovered." That was back in 1998, when Hollywood Party first appeared. Hollywood Party: Stalinist Adventures in the American Movie Industry tells "whole story" once again. Follow the wrenching plot twists, the battles in the studios, and the sudden change of scene to Washington. Meet the vast cast of characters, including some of Hollywood's brightest stars. With new information, and as updated as the author could make it, Hollywood Party remains the only book to tell the whole story.
