Hollywood Blacklist
- Two-time Oscar winner Lee Grant lost 12 years of her career to the Hollywood Blacklist, shut out of the industry just after her film debut in 1951’s Detective Story, which garnered her first Academy Award nomination. When Grant was able to return to film in 1963, she wound back the clock on her age to make up for lost time.
