Albert Maltz, a polymath of artistic expression, entered this world on October 28, 1908, and left an indelible mark on the world of literature and film on April 26, 1985. As a celebrated playwright, fiction writer, and screenwriter, Maltz made a lasting impact on the world of American letters.
Notably, Maltz was a key figure in the Hollywood Ten, a group of ten individuals who, in 1950, were imprisoned for their 1947 refusal to provide testimony before the United States Congress regarding their alleged connections to the Communist Party USA.
