NY: Thunder's Mouth Press; Nation Books, 2003. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover, 464 pages, b&w photos. In a bright, unclipped dust jacket. As the McCarthyite witch hunt gathered momentum in the postwar years, screenwriter Norma Barzman and her husband were driven from Hollywood into an emotionally difficult thirty-year exile in France. The Red and the Blacklist is a unique record of the political tempests of the time, marked by the author's dazzling power of reflection and insight, and animated by a larger-than-life cast of supporting characters including Pablo Picasso, Harold Robbins, Sophia Loren, Charlton Heston, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Losey, John Wayne, Anthony Quinn, Groucho Marx and--in a delightful cameo--a very young Marilyn Monroe.

She seeks solace in a string of affairs, one of them ending in a pregnancy that she aborts.
