usurp those rights. At various times dating to before the Second World War, he clashed with fellow members of the Screen Writers Guild who he felt were "pro-Stalin" Communists. Dunne's anti-Communist leanings would seem to be verified by his uninterrupted employment as a screenwriter on major Hollywood productions throughout the blacklist period, despite his quite vocal denunciation of HUAC. Personal life Dunne married the former Amanda Duff (1914–2006) on July 13, 1939. They had three children. In 1980, he published his memoirs, Take Two: A Life in Movies and Politics. Dunne died of cancer on June 2, 1992, in Malibu, California, aged 84. Quotes "Never in all my years in this chancy and unstable profession did I ever realize that I was sleepwalking along a precipice. I ignored the fact that the rate of professional mortality among screen writers is extremely high...It wasn't courage or arrogance or insensitivity; I suspect it was the irascible Horatio Alger in my blood. If I had it to do all over again I would perish of sheer fright." "All over town the industrious communist tail wagged the lazy liberal dog."
