This list is not accurate. For just one example, Cesar Romero was a leftist and praised Castro.
No, he didn't.
From the Los Angeles Times:
Romero was a registered Republican and he appeared in the Nixon-Lodge bumper sticker motorcade campaign in October 1960, and four years later, initially supported Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. in the write-in campaign supporting Lodge for president. Romero appreciated and said he liked Lodge's strong anti-Communist stance in South Vietnam where Lodge was at the time the United States ambassador. Later that year, Romero supported Barry Goldwater in the general election.
Also in 1964, Romero was very much involved in the U.S. Senate race in California that pitted one of Romero's best friends and fellow actor, Republican nominee George Murphy (who nicknamed Romero "Butch"), in his bid to oust then-Senator Pierre Salinger, a Democrat.

Yes, but the Netflix movie on her tried their best to make it seem she made a "mistake" when she first registered to vote. They tried to say she was only a communist in name only.

Charlton Heston and Ronald Reagan were Democrats during at least part of their Hollywood careers. Reagan switched parties, I believe, in the 50s, and Heston in the early 60s.
They didnt leave the party, the party left them. Kinda like how the Republican party goes left every day.

Martin was a lifelong Republican, except when it came to supporting John F. Kennedy in 1960.
I do not believe that the Rat Pack were Democrats. I just believe that they liked John Kennedy and hung out with John Kennedy because he was even more of a degenerate than they were.

Democrats of that era had political views that would seem almostvconservative today. For a realistic comparison of which actors of that era had views similar to today’s democrats simply look at the list of known communist in Hollywood.

Steve McQueen as a Republican surprised me and Dean Martin as a Democrat surprised me. Not sure why but they did.

Dean was a Republican as stated in earlier posts.

Surprised about Johnny Carson.
Read the book by Henry Bushkin. Carson was great on tv but was a horrible person in real life. Awful father and husband. Just all around terrible human being off tv. That being said there will never be another Johnny Carson. He shits on the late night clowns we have now.

Every Dem on the list would be considered alt-right in todays world.

I thought Sir Laurence Olivier was British and was always a British citizen.

No, she wasn't. This was a misconstruation of her father who had registered as a communist back in the 1930's and, to please her father, she also registered. However, she did not support nor have any associations with the U.S. communist party. She completely disavowed any association with them and publicly came out in opposition to the communist party.

Many actors/actresses had dual citizenships. Elizabeth Taylor had dual citizenship in both the U.S. and England, for example. Audrey Hepburn had dual.

Taylor's parents were American if memory serves and I think Hepburn ended up marrying an American. The first time.
Pretty sure that Olivier was only British in citizenship
