Orson Bean, Blacklisted in Real-Life by Hollywood in the 1950s, Guest Stars

�Red Glare� -- Old wounds caused by the communist witch hunts of the l950s are re-opened when Lilly and the team re-investigate an unsolved murder from 1953, on COLD CASE Sunday, Nov. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Tim Matheson directed from a script by Dan Dworkin and Jay Beattie.

When an emotionally scarred son learns of his father's unsolved and brutal murder in 1953, he asks Rush and Valens to re-open the case, as he believes that his estranged mother is the killer. Lilly learns that the murdered man�s life was endangered due to his association with a group of intellectuals whom the government believed were Communists. Meanwhile, Rush's younger sister, the black sheep of the family, suddenly shows up at the station asking for a place to stay.

Guest star Orson Bean plays a suspected communist sympathizer. In fact, Bean was blacklisted in the l950s for being a communist sympathizer. Although the rumors about his politics were unfounded, Mr. Bean didn�t work for one year. Ed Sullivan even fired him from his popular weekly variety show until, according to Bean, �the heat was off.�
