Original DJ with a partially price-clipped price as only 8s is present. Rare DJ shows a handful of open chips and soiling to rear. One of the original Hollywood 10, Trumbo was blacklisted as a result of his refusal to testify before the House of Un-American Activities Committee in October 1947. In 1956 Trumbo would win an Oscar using a pseudonym for the Brave One. Much of his success during this period was a result of his friendship with the King Kong of the Box Office at the time, Kirk Douglas, who fought to keep Trumbo working.
