Yes, of course. Bette Davis was one of the few Democrats among the great stars of Hollywood's golden age, and one of the most active. An ardent supporter of FDR, she spoke at the 1940 and 1944 Democratic conventions. She also performed at the inauguration party for JFK and was friendly with the Carters, who were, in turn, lifelong fans of hers. Other Democrats included Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Myrna Loy, Melvin Douglas, Danny Kaye, Gene Kelly, Orson Welles, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Gregory Peck, Jack Lemmon, Judy Holliday, Kirk Douglas, and Edward G. Robinson. A few stars like James Cagney, Frank Sinatra, and Charlton Heston were Democrats who later jumped ship. Most of the rest of the movie establishment were Republicans until a new wave swept over Hollywood in the sixties.
