Personal Quote:

[on the failure of his friend and partner Stanley Kramer to support him during the days of the blacklist]: Stanley had been a long time becoming a liberal and he had grown to love President Roosevelt very much and he felt it was unjust that, as a liberal, he should be tarred with the Communist brush. We were very successful and he really didn't want to be guilty by association.

Trivia:

Carl Foreman was also an uncle to Los Angeles radio sportscaster/reporter and voice-over artist (1986 film 'Touch and Go') Ted Sobel who's mother was Sherry (Foreman) Sobel (Carl's only sister), a one-time big band singer for Freddy Martin and Frankie Ortega and his orchestra under the name Shari Fare.
