The Hollywood Ten were held in contempt of Congress on November 24, 1947, by a vote of 346β17. Over the following years they were convicted in federal court and given sentences of six months to one year in prison. After leaving prison, the director Edward Dmytryk admitted to having been a member of the Communist Party of the United States of America and was thereafter allowed to work in the film industry. The other nine people were blacklisted for more than a decade, although several continued to work in the industry under other names.
