What does that have to do with it? She was 29 years old.

Drugs.

It is well known Hollywood, entertainment, Tech, and almost all Media has definite political leanings, and uses them in hiring practices. Nothing new.

Let's not forget the many stars that got blacklisted decades ago because they were suspected of being communists. One of the most notable stars on that list was Charlie Chaplin.

It was mentioned in the original post.

I always wondered why Cliff Robertson wasn't making movies back in the early 80s.
This is why.

If so, that poster is remembering the names of the characters not the actors, and is remembering the first name of one character, and the last name of the other.

Barry Williams played Greg Brady on The Brady Bunch

Grant Goodeve played David Bradford on Eight is Enough.

Nope. Greg Bradford. He was well known in the 80s.

He has 8 very minor credits to his name. I wouldn't call that well known.

So why was he supposedly black listed? What happened?

I do not know. There used to a website where info was posted, but it is now gone. He was definitely well known by people my age at least. Regardless of that, the reason given for the blacklist was that he wouldn't perform a sexual act with a certain important man in Hollywood. I don't have any idea if it is true, but I do think it is possible. I found that info years ago when I was wondering what happened to him.

Thanks. I recognize his face, but I couldn't have told you his name.
