Trivia
Was blacklisted during the 1950s when he was exposed as a Communist Party member during the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings. Marc Lawrence had testified that Stander told him that joining the Party would make him more attractive to women. In his own HUAC testimony, Stander denounced Lawrence as a psychopath and presented a letter that gave Lawrence's mental history and revealed that he had been hospitalized after a mental breakdown just prior to his HUAC testimony.
Stander's name is mentioned along with Sterling Hayden's in the movie Guilty by Suspicion (1991), from a script by the blacklisted Communist Abraham Polonsky, when the protagonist is grilled by an inquisitorial committee bearing a resemblance to HUAC.
