Everything about Front Identity totally explained
A
front in the 1950s was the term for someone who agreed to lend his own identity in covering for a
blacklisted artist in the American
film industry during the
McCarthy era.
Many actors, screenwriters and others in film work were blacklisted (banned) because of their supposed "subversive" activities after investigations by the
House Committee on Un-American Activities.
Covert use of another identity was a creative solution to the problem, making it possible for the barred artist to continue creating and producing work under a
pseudonym or by using a "front".
In Film
The Front, 1976, stars
Woody Allen and
Zero Mostel, director
Martin Ritt, is a dramatized account of
Hollywood blacklisting during the 1950s.
