REMEMBER WHEN SCANDALS HAD SOME REAL MEAT TO THEM?

You know, not just a sex tape or the realization that a particular person is an ass?

Well I ran across a Blog called SCANDALOUS WOMEN that offers some real, um, protein. (Click on the name to follow the link.)



A taste:

Mary McCarthy (The Group, Memories of a Catholic Schoolgirl, How I Grew) about Lillian Hellman (The Children's Hour, Julia, An Unfinished Woman, Pentimento, Scoundrel Time) -

"[E]very word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the.'"

Lillian Hellman -

"Everyone’s memory is tricky and mine’s a little trickier than most."

Joan Mellen -

“A foremost literary fabulator of her generation, Lillian Hellman invented her life, so that by the end even she was uncertain about what had been true.”

[There is a real and interesting story behind those quotes and it, along with the many other stories on this enlightening Blog, is well worth reading.]
