Judy Holliday

Sometimes, getting on the television blacklist came down to having supported an event in the past, often many years ago.

Had a great conversation with Kurt Anderson about the Broadcast 41--lots of terrific clips of their work, thanks to the hard work of Zoe Saunders and others on the show. You can listen to it here.

There's a new off-Broadway play--Smart Blonde--about the incredible, funny, and brilliant Judy Holliday.

Holliday was in the comedy group the Revuers in Greenwich Village in the 1930s--Lillian Hellman was a fan! Gary Carey wrote a decent biography of Holliday--Judy Holliday: An Intimate Life Story (don't be totally put off by the title).
