Lillian Hellman sits square to the camera in this 1961 head-and-shoulders portrait, a plain, direct study of the playwright at the height of her fame. Hellman (1905-1984) wrote plays such as "The Little Foxes" and "The Children's Hour," and by the early 1960s she was one of the most prominent dramatists in the United States. The seated, front-facing pose keeps attention on her face and expression rather than on any setting, which suits a writer whose reputation rested on her words and her outspoken public voice.
