Kind of an aside on the Redford movies I listed, is his relation, along with several other blacklisted Marxist-affiliated actors of the 1950's, to an actor named Jeff Corey:

Blacklisted[edit]

Corey's career was halted in the early 1950s, when he was summoned before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Corey refused to give names of alleged Communists and subversives in the entertainment industry and went so far as to ridicule the panel by offering critiques of the testimony of the previous witnesses. This behavior led to his being blacklisted for 12 years. "Most of us were retired Reds. We had left it, at least I had, years before," Corey told Patrick McGilligan, the co-author of Tender Comrades: A Backstory of the Hollywood Blacklist (ISBN 978-0-31-217046-2), who also teaches film at Marquette University. "The only issue was, did you want to just give them their token names so you could continue your career, or not? I had no impulse to defend a political point of view that no longer interested me particularly ... They just wanted two new names so they could hand out more subpoenas."

During his blacklisting Corey drew upon his experience in various actors' workshops (including the Actors' Lab, which he helped establish[3]) by seeking work as an acting teacher. He soon became one of the most influential teachers in Hollywood. His students, at various times, included Robert Blake, James Coburn, Richard Chamberlain, James Dean, Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Michael Forest, James Hong, Sally Kellerman, Shirley Knight, Penny Marshall, Jack Nicholson, Darrell M. Smith, Diane Varsi, Sharon Tate, Rita Moreno, Leonard Nimoy, Sally Forrest, Anthony Perkins, Rob Reiner, Robert Towne, Barbra Streisand and Robin Williams.


Many of his acting students are collectively a who's who of the Hollywood Left.

Jeff Corey appeared with Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

My favorite role by Jeff Corey was in the "O.B.I.T." episode of the Outer Limits, and despite his politics, I also remember him fondly for other roles in episodes of Perry Mason, Wild Wild West, Star Trek, Six Million Dollar Man, Night Gallery, Night Court and his role as one of the governing mutants in the movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes.
