Lillian Hellman

This is a great photo of her.
"Hellman maintained a social and political life as large and restless as her talent.
While her plays were a constant challenge to injustice, her memoirs were personal accounts of the exciting and turbulent life behind the art."
-pbs

You can read about her struggles with the C.I.A. and "The House Committee on Un-American Activities"
