Who VAS Das Spitfire Lady? Department:
None other than [ The New Yorker ]’s esteemed Paris writer,
Janet Flanner.
And, yeah, that’s who you think it is with her.
So if she could deal with faux-papa, reel-baby Hemingway, mini-mouse Mailer in all his
mealy-mouth bullying cowardice wouldn’t have caused her to even sweat.
As for Lillian Hellman
when author (and rival) Mary McCarthy
said on the show vis-à-vis the former, “every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'." , Ms. Hellman filed
a million-dollar plus law suit against her nemesis, PBS and Mr. Cavett (whose empathy was more with Ms. McCarthy). At any rate, once Ms. Hellman died, her executors dropped the suit.
O, oh, wait - get this: guess who attempted to act as peaceful go-between where both women were concerned?
Wotta world …

I guess I'm in the minority by saying I thought Katharine Hepburn was rude as hell during portions of the Cavett interview.
From what I've read, Spencer Tracy routinely treated Kate like dirt during the course of their relationship; something that she would let no other person do. But Hepburn definitely was an odd bird, wasn't she?
As for her interview with Cavett, I thought she was dull!
No no no, neither rude nor dull. Brilliant, lively, full of the unexpected, incredible timing, wit, agility. One of a kind. Not my favorite actress, but a genuine and unique "personality." (Thank you, neo, for the clip!)

Oh, thank heaven--- this is a resurrected thread- I was looking for my post and it wasn't there. Thought I'd lost my mind.
