Everything changed in 1951, when he was summoned before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Corey refused to name names and was promptly blacklisted, which forced him to walk away from a vibrant livelihood as an actor and embark on a career as one of the industry's most revered acting instructors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eImprovising Out Loud: My Life Teaching Hollywood How to Act\u003c\/i\u003e, Corey recounts his extraordinary story. Among the actors who would soon fill his classes were James Dean, Kirk Douglas, Jane Fonda, Rob Reiner, Jack Nicholson, and Leonard Nimoy. In 1962, when the blacklist ended, Corey was one of the industry's first trailblazers to seamlessly reboot his acting career and secure roles in some of the classic films of the era, including \u003ci\u003eButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid \u003c\/i\u003e(1969), \u003ci\u003eTrue Grit \u003c\/i\u003e(1969), and \u003ci\u003eLittle Big Man \u003c\/i\u003e(1970), in which he starred as the infamous Wild Bill Hickok.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout his life, Corey sought to capture the human heart: in conflict, in terror, in love, and in all of its small triumphs.
