G. Robinson tuvo su participación en Hollywood hace
mucho tiempo, aunque su importancia lo mantiene como una de las estrellas de la

por culpa del Red Scare y formó parte de las listas negras de Hollywood. Más

"At Ellis

years old."
Edward G. Robinson was born in 1893. He appeared in 30 Broadway plays and more than 100 films during
a 50-year career and is best remembered for his tough-guy roles as gangsters in
such films as Little Caesar and Key Largo.
During the
1950s, he was called to testify at the House
Un-American Activities Committee during the Red Scare, but was
cleared of any deliberate Communist
involvement.
