The Hollywood ten were ten Hollywood writers thought to be Communist by HUAC (House Committee on Un-American Activities). Joseph McCarthy said that these ten writers could use the film industry to spread communist propaganda. The Hollywood ten were then investigated by HUAC, the writers refused to give evidence saying that the constitution gave them the right to free speech. The Hollywood ten were supported by famous movie stars like Humphrey Bogart, this made no difference the Hollywood ten were sent to prison for refusing to give evidence at HUAC trials, and for being suspected communists. :)
