Did You Know?
| Trivia | Betsy Blair was cast as Ward Bond's daughter in the hope that Bond's enthusiastic support of the House Against Un-American Activities might help her career (She had been unofficially blacklisted due to her activism and ties to Communist sympathizers). It did not, but she enjoyed working with Bond despite their opposing politics. See more » |
