Arthur Miller

Famous playwright Arthur Miller was arrested after his release of "The Crucible" which details a 1600s style witch hunt.

He was held in "contempt of Congress."

During the Red Scare, she was accused of ties to Communism (who wasn't?) but was able to get them off of her back by using her airhead attitude.
