To the title question, Mr. Heston would give a qualified No. There are, he says,

"far more young conservatives among actors and writers and directors now," and

Hollywood does respond, though slowly, to public pressure--so that, as Mr. Buckley puts

it, "a depiction of a minister or a priest doesn't have to show him as a bigamist or an

adulterer or a sodomist." Still, Hollywood is a left-wing place. CH: "The other

explanation that has occurred to me is that actors and writers make their livings with their

imaginations, with their feelings, and thus they put a great deal of faith in them. I may

play a part in which I may have to burst into tears at the death of a character that hasn't

even been cast yet... It seems to me plausible that therefore actors rely on their

emotions for making intellectual decisions, which is not a wise move."
