Hollywood Actors That Don't Get Cast Anymore

Lena Horne

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.
