Answer 1

Answer:

Accused of Communism, members of the Hollywood Ten were jailed and fired for their alleged beliefs.

Explanation:

Hollywood Ten was the name that the press used to designate a group of people related to the American film industry who were included in Hollywood's blacklist during McCarthysm, accused of obstructing the work of the United States Congress for refusing to declare before the House Un-American Activities Committee  of John Parnell Thomas, destined to investigate a supposed communist infiltration in the ranks of Hollywood.

Despite being an unpopular measure in the United States itself, the witch hunt that had Joseph McCarthy as its maximum exponent obtained the support of the main studies, which signed the so-called "Waldorf Declaration" in which, as a consequence of his refusal to testify, and his attempt to attack the commission as unconstitutional, the "Hollywood Ten" were imprisoned and dismissed from their jobs indefinitely until they declared and proved not to be communists, in addition to vetoing and hindering their film activity.

Answer 2

The Hollywood Ten were all arrested and banned for talking out against the HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee).
