The 10 Worst Brooklynites of All Time
Oy. This asshole was one of the central informers in Joseph McCarthy’s infamously paranoid, anti-commie witchhunt in the early 1950s. To save his own skin, screenwriter Berkeley falsely named 115 Hollywood communists (including great Brooklynite Zero Mostel), ruining the careers—and lives—of many, all so he could stick around in Los Angeles to make such important work as Tarantula and The Deadly Mantis. Damn you, Martin Berkeley.
