Rose Hobart

Born in New York City, 'Rose Hobart' (qv) responded to the lure of the theater at a young age, went on stage at 15, then drifted to Hollywood and embarked on a movie career. Hobart film-debuted in the 1930 Fox version of "Liliom" and went on to appear in over 40 additional films, both in the A and B category. But by the late 1940s, her political views and pro-union stance caused her to be blacklisted. After a period of inactivity, she returned to acting in the 1960s on TV's _Peyton Place (1964)_ (qv). For many years she resided at the Motion Picture and Television Country House, not far from Hollywood, where she enjoyed editing the House 'News' (qv)letter.::Tom Weaver <TomWeavr@aol.com>
