	Lillian Hellman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lillian Florence Hellman (June 20, 1905 – June 30, 1984) was an American playwright, romantically involved for thirty years with mystery and crime writer Dashiell Hammett.
		McCarthy famously said of Hellman on The Dick Cavett Show that "every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'." Hellman replied by filing a US$2,500,000 slander suit against McCarthy but died, at age 79, from natural causes, and the suit was dropped by Hellman's executors.
		However, the facts that Hellman and Gardiner had the same lawyer (one Wolf Schwawbacher), that the lawyer had been privy to Gardiner's memoirs, and that the events in the film conform to those in the memoirs, have led to the presumption that they had been appropriated without attribution from Gardiner.

		Understanding Lillian Hellman is part of a series of works on contemporary American literature “planned as guides or companions for students as well as nonacademic readers” (Editor’s Preface, n.pag.).
		The volume’s first chapter is a brief overview of Hellman’s remarkable life: her playwriting career, her stints as a film writer, her vocal opposition to Nazism, her appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee, and her retirement from the theatre to write memoirs.
		Understanding Lillian Hellman is clearly intended to be a sympathetic account of the playwright and her canon, and, in general, that’s fine – there is no need to overemphasize flaws and critical disputes for readers just being introduced to a writer’s work.

		In this perceptive study of Lillian Hellman's career, Alice Griffin and Geraldine Thorsten provide a balanced, in-depth examination of the major works of one of America's preeminent women playwrights and memoirists.
		To some, Hellman was an anathema; to others heroic, especially in her defiance of the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy era.
		In the thirties, when Hellman's theater career began, George Jean Nathan, the dean of theater critics, suggested that although Hellman was the country's foremost playwright, she would never equal a man. Correcting the badly skewed evaluations that such bias fostered, Griffin and Thorsten give Hellman's plays a fresh critical assessment.
