these talented people welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 famous
people who were blacklisted from
Hollywood
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
considering every form of black listing
from McCarthy era congressional black
listing to the subtle asking of stars
that buck the Hollywood system you have
exactly 10 seconds to change that look
of disgusting titty into one of enormous
respect number 10
Monique prior to 2009 Monique was a
relative unknown boasting small parts
and movies and a role as lead actress in
the TV show the Parkers but the
critically acclaimed precious changed
that and Monique became a household name
what about Megan if he wanted my
daughter as well she was instantly
beloved by fans and earned an Academy
Award for her performance however since
the award she seems to have disappeared
only acting in three small film roles
out of 2017 life you’d think she’d have
great offers pouring in
but that hasn’t been the case according
to Monique and others she’s been
blacklisted for not playing the
Hollywood politics game specifically
around the time of her Oscar win but I
think that my no thank you
says she’s difficult because normally
you don’t get the no thank you
normally you get what time should I be
there and how should I add number 9
Lloyd Bridges it’s like I picked the
wrong week for smoking imagine history
had gone differently
imagine Lloyd Bridges had been
permanently blacklisted from Hollywood
would airplane have been is funny
what about hotshot would his son Jeff
Bridges even be an actor but I think I
learned most about acting from him was
some just a joy in which he approached
this thing thankfully Lloyd Bridges
wasn’t blacklisted forever but what did
he do to be barred in the first place
simple
he was affiliated with the actors
laboratory theater which was alleged to
have had ties to communism bridges
testified truthfully before the house on
American Activities Committee the
Congressional communist hunt committee
and was then blacklisted from Hollywood
but later returned after the FBI cleared
his name you risk the lives of some damn
fine pirates that’s my job
number eight Isaiah Washington
don’t sweat a shepherd I’ll only be a
boss for a few days at one time this
Grey’s Anatomy star was an up-and-coming
Hollywood favorite however he struggled
to get quality work ever since he was
evidently blacklisted from the game in
the mid-2000s Washington’s difficulties
resulted from an apparent onset dispute
with a Grey’s Anatomy co-star according
to reports Washington hurled homophobic
slurs and after being chastised went on
to do so again he was fired from Grey’s
Anatomy on June 7th 2007 and while he
went on Larry King Live less than a
month later to defend himself Washington
only seemed to dig a deeper hole
ever since the controversy we haven’t
seen Washington in much I can’t change
that marriage but what I can do is upset
the absolute about Who I am as a human
being
number 7 Lena Horne I never bother with
people I hate
that’s why the lady is a tramp at her
prime jazz artist pop singer dancer
actor and civil rights activist Lena
Horne was one of the most active
entertainers in Hollywood she came up in
the 1930s as a vocalist and by the 1940s
had worked her way onto the silver
screen signed to metro-goldwyn-mayer
however it’s reported that by the 1950s
Born had lost her lust for Hollywood and
was looking to step away of course that
didn’t matter much since she was
blacklisted that decade for her ties to
communism in the 40s and was forced out
anyway I just told him I belong to the
same organizations and clubs mrs.
Roosevelt the nose tooth she couldn’t
get Hollywood roll-y fortunately
nightclubs welcomed her with open arms
[Music]
so many happy waiting movies number six
Jim Caviezel that’s been enough I la
coruna ngoc thien Aselton at one time
Jim Caviezel was one of the most
promising names in Hollywood he had the
requisite movie star looks the camera
clearly loved him and his acting chops
were solid
but Caviezel entire career trajectory
changed when he starred in one little
movie The Passion of the Christ
hey hey Bonet Akuma sits alone mara davi
a cool portraying religious figure Jesus
Christ Caviezel actually received
acclaim for his performance but the film
angered many in Hollywood for its
graphic violence and apparent
anti-semitic undertones director Mel
Gibson warned Caviezel about what the
role could do to his career but the
actor firmly believed in the movie
saying quote we all have a cross to
carry number 5 Katherine Heigl just
remember that while you’re sitting on
200 grand
student loans invested with her work as
doctor Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy
serving as a launching pad Katherine
Heigl was sought after by many studios
however reports quickly emerged that
Heigl was difficult to work with no well
that certainly didn’t do her any favors
the biggest reason she hasn’t found much
work is most likely her bad-mouthing of
Judd Apatow Seth Rogen and their movie
knocked up yes the film helped launch
Heigl to stardom but she publicly
criticized the movie even calling it
sexist if there is one way to guarantee
difficulties in Hollywood it’s making
enemies of the wrong people
we’re not thrilled about it because if
anything the movie is about what idiots
guys are and how it drives women crazy
number 4 Tippi Hedren
you just can’t discuss Tippi Hedren
without bringing up Alfred Hitchcock
it was Hitchcock who first discovered
Hedren he was watching The Today Show
and was captivated by her appearance in
a diet drink commercial the two set up a
meeting and Hitchcock signed Hedren to a
seven-year deal and Hedren Hitchcock
debut wasn’t minor it was the lead
actress role in his acclaimed film the
birds I keep telling you this isn’t a
few birds she even went on to be
Hitchcock’s muse until they parted ways
he told me he’d ruin my career I said do
what you have to do I don’t care
according to Hedren she repeatedly
rejected Hitchcock’s sexual advances and
he retaliated by ruining her career out
of spite Hitchcock wouldn’t release
Hedren from her contract but he wouldn’t
give her work either it’s so sad that
this relationship had to go that way
because I loved working with him he was
not only my director he was my drama
coach number three Mel Gibson did meet a
car line
but they’ll never think Bob Gibson
struggles in Hollywood have been among
the most public
he was once one of the biggest names in
film starring in movies like Mad Max
Braveheart and Lethal Weapon to name a
few I know he’s in the dirt asshole his
directorial work has been equally
impressive but despite his talent
Hollywood turned on Gibson in 2006 after
being pulled over for a DUI
Gibson reportedly spewed a shocking
anti-semitic rant
he’s also been caught making homophobic
and other racist slurs Gibson however
may be on a comeback at this 2016 film
hacksaw Ridge earned very positive
feedback and two Oscar wins you are hold
on number two Dalton Trumbo
I’ve got allies and enemies there’s no
room for anything else while more modern
examples of Hollywood blacklisting tend
to focus on individuals the 1950s
McCarthy era Hollywood blacklisting was
far more wide reaching in Dalton Trumbo
story is among the most outrageous after
refusing to testify in front of the
house on American Activities Committee
in 1947 Trumbo was not only out stood
from Hollywood he also served time in
prison that however did not stop him
from working
Trumbo launched a new subversive career
writing screenplays under pseudonyms and
under the names of other writers to love
Trumbo uncredited works Roman Holiday
and the brave one even won Academy Award
is this what I can find Presidente what
did you one with the presidentís it’s
about something very important before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions after living in the
USA for more than 30 years it they call
me an undesirable alien
[Music]
again
[Music]
ever
[Music]
number one Charlie Chaplin we want to
live by each other’s happiness not by
each other’s misery Chaplin was the
silent movie star actually he’s one of
the biggest Hollywood stars ever which
makes it all the more surprising that he
was blacklisted from the industry like
others on this list Chaplin refused to
testify in front of the house on
American Activities Committee
but his punishment was far harsher than
others since he was not a US citizen
when Chaplin left the country to
premiere his film limelight in London
the US Attorney General revoked his
re-entry permit banning Chaplin from
re-entering the United States so not
only with Chaplin blacklisted from
working in Hollywood he was banned from
the entire country altogether I love
this country
I have everything that’s I said why Hank
