How did the red scare affect Hollywood?

Why were the Hollywood ten blacklist?
The so-called Hollywood Ten were movie industry professionals who were convicted of contempt of Congress after they refused to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Because they would not divulge names and information about Communists in the film studios, they were imprisoned for a year in 1950. Worse, they were placed on the "blacklist" of authors, actors, and directors and were refused work by the studio heads. This was an effort by Hollywood to placate lawmakers during the Red Scare, to avoid restrictive legislation and unfavorable publicity. Some managed to find work through sympathetic friends, but they could not be given official credit for their efforts. It was not until the late 1950's that the blacklist lost its hold as the "studio system" in Hollywood was phased out.
