Personal Life
Cronyn appeared on the infamous Hollywood blacklist for a time - not because of his own political activity (Cronyn was long believed to shy away from political activism) - but because he had hired, often without caring about their politics, staff members who had already been blacklisted.
After he was widowed, Cronyn married author Susan Cooper in July 1996. His 1991 autobiography was titled A Terrible Liar (ISBN 0-688-12844-0).
In 1988, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. Cronyn was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 1999. He died in 2003 of prostate cancer, aged 91.
