Liberal myth?

Congratulations, Tim Rutten, on being able to regurgitate the handful of known (and notably some dead) Republicans in Hollywood (“Left-Leaning Hollywood: A Myth Dies,” Aug. 23).

Their names drift so easily to mind because they are/were oddities in the otherwise overwhelmingly liberal landscape of Tinseltown. Didn’t you notice that your list spans about 60 years with a result of only about 10 Republicans?

I suspect that if you were to start reeling off a similarly known list of vocal liberals who inhabit this industry today, it would far exceed The Times’ allowable space for publication.
