Talk:Albert Dekker

Had to remove paragraph on blacklist

This paragraph was in the article:

In 1949, he was quoted as saying that Joseph McCarthy was "insane". This led to an unofficial blacklisting of him in Hollywood, and a return to Broadway, until a comeback in films in the late 1950's[1].

But if you look at the filmography, he's in movies throughout the 1950s.

I can't find any reference to this episode on the Internet other than the citation in the removed paragraph -- and that Web page states he couldn't work for 19 years which is obviously wrong as well.

So unless someone can find a source in a reliable publication about the blacklist era, I think it has to stay out. Perhaps he made the "insane" remark and was investigated, or had some trouble working, but wasn't actually blacklisted (just speculation).

why osnt there any mention of his death by Erotic asphyxiation? his name is even mentioned in that article: Albert Dekker, stage and screen actor, was found in 1968 with his body graffitized and a noose around his neck in his bathroom.
