Carl Rollyson Quote
Devotion that drove other actors out of the tent. Although Brennan’s political convictions were decidedly conservative, he remained outside the political arena, which perhaps accounts for why he played no part in the controversy over blacklisting and the House Committee on Un-American Activities that would heat up Hollywood in the late 1940s and 1950s. In Actors Split Over Right to Campaign, Oakland (CA) Tribune (April 6, 1948), Bob Thomas quoted Brennan as saying, Actors shouldn’t campaign because they live in another world from ordinary people. If actors got an ounce of sense with every dollar they made, it would be all right.
