Political activity Cobb was accused of being a Communist in 1951 testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) of the U.S. House of Representatives of the Congress by Larry Parks, himself an admitted former Communist Party member. Cobb was called to testify before HUAC but refused to do so for two years until his career was threatened by the blacklist. He relented in 1953 and gave testimony, naming 20 people as former members of the Communist Party USA.BOOK, Navasky, Victor, Victor Navasky, Naming Names, Reprint, 2003, Hill & Wang, 268–273,books.google.com/books?id=wg0ypcai-osC&q=cobb, 978-0809001835, Later, Cobb explained why he “named names”, saying:When the facilities of the government of the United States are drawn on an individual it can be terrifying. The blacklist is just the opening gambit—being deprived of work. Your passport is confiscated. That’s minor. But not being able to move without being tailed is something else. After a certain point it grows to implied as well as articulated threats, and people succumb. My wife did, and she was institutionalized. The HUAC did a deal with me. I was pretty much worn down. I had no money. I couldn’t borrow. I had the expenses of taking care of the children. Why am I subjecting my loved ones to this? If it’s worth dying for, and I am just as idealistic as the next fellow. But I decided it wasn’t worth dying for, and if this gesture was the way of getting out of the penitentiary I’d do it. I had to be employable again. — Interview with Victor Navasky for the 1980 book Naming Names File:Westwon trailer Cobb.png|thumb|right|300px|Cobb in the trailer for How the West Was Won (1962)]]Following the hearing, he resumed his career and worked with Elia Kazan and Budd Schulberg, two other HUAC “friendly witnesses”, on the 1954 film On the Waterfront. Personal life Cobb married Yiddish theatre and film actress Helen Beverley in 1940. They had two children, actress Julie Cobb, and son Vincent Cobb, before divorcing in 1952.
