Zoe Kazan on how her grandfather’s McCarthy-era actions informed ThePlotAgainstAmerica: “I thought a lot about how the history of our country affected my family’s history, what it meant for my grandfather as an immigrant to have his Americanness tested”
— specifically when he named names to the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952.
Most of the assembled press at the “Plot Against America” panel was aware of that history, and the tension in the room as“I have not wanted to weigh in on my family’s political history, partially because of the other people it involved in my family who have prized their privacy over a public life,” she said. “So I’m not going to go into it.”
“I will say that I thought a lot about how the history of our country affected my family’s history, what it meant for my grandfather as an immigrant to this country to have his Americanness tested and the choice that he made from that,” Kazan continued. “I thought a lot about my own choices that I’ve made, the way that I choose to lead my life. I think thou mayest choose a different life.
