dumbest reasons ever some were old actors blacklisted for suspicious ties with communism aka the red scare.
Brendon Fraser was beloved in the late 90s all the way into the early 2010s. He, unfortunately, met his screen demise when he presented some allegations against Philip Burke. Fraser claimed that he had been sexually assaulted by Burke on the night of the Golden Globes award ceremony. Burke was the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and whether the allegations were true or not, Fraser has not appeared in a film since. He now spends his time in his mansion outside of NYC, raising his kids and horses.
Mo?nique saw her first serious Hollywood break when she played an abusive mother in the 2009 movie ?Precious?. Her acting was not the problem behind her blacklisting, it was her unwillingness to work with her executives during the 2010 campaign to win Precious an Oscar. Mo?nique feels like she has been wrongfully blacklisted, but the Hollywood executives feel like this was the right decision.

Mel Gibson?s downfall started with a horrific accident he caused while driving drunk. After that event, Gibson went on an antisemitic tear to the press. Gibson claims, 10 years after the incident, he is reformed and ready to go back on the big screen. However, Hollywood executives seem to disagree.
Sheen struggled with drinking and drug abuse for a significant time during his tenure on Two and a Half Men. His career seemingly fizzled out when he unintentionally came forward about his instability in an interview with Good Morning America. The interview made Sheen look manic and unhinged, so much so that he wasn?t invited back to continue Two and a Half men.
Katherine Heigl had been heavily sought out for lead roles in very important movies just a few years ago. Nowadays, Heigl can?t find work, and it?s not because she?s a bad actor. Heigl was quoted to be horrible to work with on set. She would continually question and edit her script without permission from the directors. She would refuse to leave her trailer, wear uncharacteristic outfits to shoots, and generally act like a menace to all lower-ranked employees. For this reason alone, Heigl has been blacklisted.
Dorothy Parker was a very important screenwriter in the 1930s and 40s. She wrote some incredible screenplays for Alfred Hitchcock but was accused of having ties to Communism, which destroyed her career pretty much instantly. In 1949, Parker received a 1,000-word letter, acknowledging her blacklisting for reasons tied to suspicion.
Vince Vaughn was torn down for reasons outside of his personal sphere. Vaughn?s downfall came from his inability to vary his acting techniques. Vaughn played the same character in every movie that he was in, he was never quite able to dump his goofy persona, even when acting in dramas. This is evident by his terrible season on True Detective.
Jim Caviezel was best known for his role as Jesus in The Passion of the Christ, directed by Mel Gibson. The movie made a bunch of money and received critical acclaim, but the overdramatization and hyper-violent imagery was met with backlash from the community. Caviezel has had a few small roles since The Passion of the Christ, but he has yet to be offered a full role in a film since.
Hedren began as a fashion model but was quickly picked up by Alfred Hitchcock to star in two of his films, The Birds, and Marnie. Hitchcock made numerous sexual advances on Hedren, which were never reciprocated. Hitchcock was furious about Hedren turning him down, and he promised her that she would never work in Hollywood ever again. Hitchcock froze her contract for two years until he eventually sold it. Hedren returned to her career many years after the incident, but the whole experience soured her idea of Hollywood, and she dropped acting to campaign for animal rights.
Cee-Lo Green became an overnight sensation when he released the pop hit ?F*** You.? This landed him some serious accolades, he was offered a seat on the voice and was even given his own show. However, after going on a homophobic rant and sharing his unsavory opinions on the topic of rape, Cee-Lo was decapitated by the media almost immediately. Chances are, he won?t be succeeding in anything any time soon.
After finishing his role in Growing Pains, Kirk Cameron began voicing his hateful militant Christian opinions in every opportunity he could find. Cameron loved telling media outlets about his disdain for ?sinners,? primarily homosexuals and women. Needless to say, Cameron can?t find a job, and will likely never find one ever again.
Roseanne Barr was canceled promptly after her former show was picked back up for reunion season. She is an aggressive Trump supporter who has shared her racist views on social media far too many times. Once she tweeted something particularly racist about Barrack Obama?s former Senior Advisor, ABC canceled her reunion season of Roseanne, and she has been blacklisted ever since.
Isaiah Washington was erased because of his outward homophobic beliefs. Once, on the set of Grey?s Anatomy, he referred to his homosexual coworker using a slur, which got him suspended from the set. After Grey?s Anatomy won a Golden Globe, Washington referred to the same coworker using the same slur, which got him completely fired and X?ed out of the business.
Thora Birch( Burke ) ???was a child star who was increasing in popularity. That is, until her father and agent assaulted one of Burke?s co-stars on some ulterior motive. Burke was fired shortly after that incident. She has appeared in a few other smaller roles since then, but she never regained her childhood fame.
Sandra Locke made her first appearance in the 1960s. She quickly met and started dating Clint Eastwood, who arguably had Hollywood in the palm of his hand at the time. They went through a messy breakup, and it?s considered that Clint Eastwood used his dominant celebrity status to tear Locke?s career down. She eventually started working again, but she was never in the same position as before.
Stacey Dash started as an actress, activist, and talk show host. She switched from a hopeful democratic position to a racist conservative opinion during the course of Barrack Obama?s presidency. Dash was so openly racist and anti-progressive that she got fired from her job at Fox News (believe it or not). She continues to spew hate, now using social media as her platform. Dash has recently spoken about her hatred for homosexuals, transgendered individuals, and Jewish people. Yeah, she shouldn?t be on TV anymore.
Rose McGowan was one of the first people to come forward about Harvey Weinstein?s horrific acts. Terribly, Weinstein had so many Hollywood elites in his back pocket, his victims were stifled and blacklisted as soon as any of them wanted to step forward and continue the conversation about him. McGowan settled with Weinstein outside of court, but that did not stop Weinstein from blacklisting her and attempting to bury her films. McGowan has not been offered an important role since.
Beyonce isn?t blacklisted in the way you think? Two of Queen B?s songs have been banned in China! ?Run the World? was deemed inappropriate with the Chinese government. Beyonce was also banned from entering Malaysia for not complying with their strict dress code guidelines for women.

Vanessa Williams, the former Miss America 1983, was ostracized for the discovery of some nude photos that had been taken several years before, consensually. Williams was stripped of her title and cast from the entertainment sphere. Years later, she released a song that brought her back into the spotlight, but she was never returned her rightful title of Miss America.
Lawrence has committed some of the cardinal sins anyone (really any woman) in Hollywood would be blacklisted for, but he has yet to be completely blacklisted. He has, however, been perma-banned from Saturday Night Live for interrupting the show to preach about his perceived importance of feminine hygiene. Aside from being a total creep to women on set, and being ?jokingly? homophobic on occasion, Lawrence has been allowed to stay within the Hollywood sphere.
Lena Horne was part of the unfortunate and inaccurate blacklisting trend that popped up doing the Red Scare. Horne was accused of being connected to Communism in the 1950s and was blacklisted for her socialist/liberal views during a very politically conservative time in American history. Shortly after, she cultivated her own successful career outside of the general public sphere that lasted until she passed away.
Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks was placed on television blacklist when she openly spoke out against President Bush?s decision to invade Iraq. Despite her ?unpatriotic? views, the Dixie Chicks did not suffer as a band.
Bridges was incredibly popular in the 1950s, but he was blacklisted for the same reason that Lena Horne was. After clearing his name nearly 10 years after his blacklisting, he starred in Airplane!, which is still considered a classic to this day. :00hour
Josephine Baker was famous in the 1920s from her famous ?banana skirt? dance. She had dual citizenship in France and America but was accused of engaging in communist rhetoric, so she was banned from re-entering America. Several years later, she was allowed to return with her 12 adopted children, but instead, she took a permanent residence in France.
Snoop has never been blacklisted from acting, but he has been blacklisted out of a few countries for smoking a bunch of weed. He was recently banned from Norway for trying to bring weed in through customs.
what a moron :142smilie
Orson Welles was exercised from the film industry following the release of Citizen Kane, which is considered to be the most important movie that was ever made. The plot of Citizen Kane was so heavily criticized and taken literally that the FBI launched an investigation to connect him with Communism. :142smilie
Hepburn was never officially blacklisted, but she was arrested and held captive by the HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee). They tried to scare her away from ever making another movie, but she knew they had nothing on her.
:00hour
Charlie Chaplin was banned from America for a long period of time because of his un-patriotic (humanitarian) efforts to support charities. He was let back in but was followed by the FBI and permanently banned from America after that (only on reason of suspicion).
for what suspicion????? fugging FBI is so clue less at times
Arthur Miller was arrested after he released ?The Crucible,? which dictated a 1600s style witch hunt, drawing direct comparisons to the current state of the film industry. He was manipulated by the authorities until he confessed to the intention of the movie and was held in ?contempt of Congress? because he couldn?t name any names for them to pursue.
Judy Holliday had the fortunate (unfortunate?) opportunity to paint herself as a ?ditzy pretty girl? when the Red Scare struck Hollywood. When she was confronted for involvement, she played dumb and got off the hook, most likely because of institutionalized misogyny.
DENY DENY DENY :142smilie
Burgess Meredith played the Joker (not he was the penguin) in the 1950?s Batman and was a key character in The Twilight Zone. During the red scare, Meredith was blacklisted over the suspicion of his involvement with communism. He was not involved with the communist movement and was later acquitted for lack of evidence.
NO shit you couldnt even get his character right Joker was played by Cesar Romero
and slew of others BUT i llke Romero the best.
