At once both provocateur and observer, Hellman\u2019s unapologetic approach to life became fodder for her writing, tinder for volatile relationships, and the momentum behind her political activism.<br \/>\nThe author of plays (<cite>The Children\u2019s Hour, The Little Foxes, Another Part of the Forest, Watch on the Rhine, The Autumn Garden, Toys in the Attic<\/cite>), screenplays (<cite>The Dark Angel, The Searching Wind, The North Star, The Chase), an operetta (Candide<\/cite>), and a series of memoirs (<cite>An Unfinished Woman: A Memoir, Pentimento: A Book of Portraits, Scoundrel Time<\/cite>) that teeter on the shifting sands of truth, Hellman\u2019s life of contradictions defied easy labels. A southerner, an activist, a divorc\u00e9e, a Communist, a Stalinist, an anti-fascist, a skeptical feminist, and a Jew\u2014Hellman reveled in the paradox of her complex self. But it was Hellman\u2019s steadfast refusal to name names before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (that led to her being blacklisted by the film industry) that bent the public imagination and hastened the end of a career that left an indelible mark on the American theatre.<\/p>\n<p>For further reading on Lillian Hellman, see <a href=\"https:\/\/fredericksburg.com\/opinion\/great-lives-lillian-hellman-lived-a-bold-trailblazing-life\/article_c74cb8e6-4182-5d25-b15d-5ead5550f96e.html\"><em>an op-ed by Gregg Stull<\/em><\/a>, published in the Free Lance-Star.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Gregg Stull<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Gregg-Stull-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Gregg-Stull-150x150.jpg 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Gregg-Stull-50x50.jpg 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Gregg-Stull-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Gregg Stull is professor of theatre and chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Mary Washington.
