Description

Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives (June 14, 1909 - April 14, 1995) was an American actor, writer, and folk singer. He popularized several traditional folk songs, such as Foggy Dew, Blue Tail Fly, and Big Rock Candy Mountain. In 1942, he was drafted into the Army and joined the cast of Irving Berlin's This Is the Army. In 1950 he was identified in the pamphlet Red Channels and blacklisted as an entertainer. In 1952, he cooperated with HUAC and agreed to testify. His statement to the HUAC ended his blacklisting, but it also led to a bitter rift with many folk singers. He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1958 for his role in "The Big Country". Carl Van Vechten, May 10, 1955.
