"Many careers were ruined."
The Hollywood hearings and the blacklist destroyed jobs and reputations for hundreds of writers, actors and directors. The famous "Hollywood Ten" were ten screenwriters/directors who refused to testify and were jailed for contempt — but dozens or hundreds were blacklisted (barred from work), not 320 sent to jail.
