Carl Foreman Facts
A brilliant writer who was a victim of the McCarthyite "Red Scare" in the 1950s and was blacklisted in Hollywood for his alleged Communist sympathies. Reinstated in October 1997 along with other blacklisted victims--a bit too late for him, as he died in 1984.

As preparation for The Men (1950), Foreman and director Fred Zinnemann spent a month in a veteran's hospital researching, while star Marlon Brando lived, for a time, in its paraplegic unit.

The son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, he originally studied for a law degree but ended up starting his career in publicity.
