Title Description Her friend Carly Simon called her "a celebrity hound." Writer Mary McCarthy claimed she never wrote a true word, including the "ands" and the "thes." This final volume of her autobiography chronicles the experience of Lillian Hellman and her friends during the McCarthy era. In an act that sealed her mythic status, Hellman went up before the House Committee on Un-American Activities and refused to inform on other artists. Although others who defied the committee were imprisoned, Hellman walked free. Nonetheless, her act earned her a place on the Hollywood blacklist. Peopled with a stellar cast of mid-century literati, including her lover Dashiell Hammett, the memoir of this scrappy and witty woman has earned its place as a declaration of liberal principle, whatever its factual value.
