West Los Angeles: 'Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Helen Gahagan Douglas' was written by Wendy Kout and Michele Willens and is based Helen Gahagan Douglas' life. 'Don't Blame Me…' follows Helen from an entitled Republican and successful stage actress to an incorruptible liberal congresswoman who stood for education, internationalism, feminism and integration and finally to the 1950 Senate race where Nixon's anti-Communist/ anti-Semitic smear campaign ended her political career.
