Variant namesBiographical notes:
Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976) was a playwright, novelist, and screenwriter who wrote many feature films, including Kitty Foyle (1940), Thirty seconds over Tokyo (1944), The brave one (1956), and Spartacus (1960). In 1947 Trumbo was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee with nine other Hollywood screenwriters but declined to answer questions concerning his political affiliations. As a result he was fired from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, imprisoned for a year, and blacklisted.
