Big-Time Celebrities Who Don't Get Hired Anymore

Lloyd Bridges

Lloyd Bridges is super popular for his role in Airplane! but most people didn't know that he was actually blacklisted from Hollywood for a short time. Like many actors in the '50s, he was blacklisted for his apparent ties with communism and socialism. He was open about his liberal views, which raised suspicions of ties with Russia and communism. After 10 years, he was finally able to convince folks that he wasn't a Russian spy and went on to have a great career.
