Elizabeth Hardwick replies to Penelope Gilliatt in response to Elizabeth Hardwick’s piece on Lillian Hellman’s “The Little Foxes” directed by Mike Nichols:
“I have never met Penelope Gilliatt, nor have I ever spoken to her. She has no knowledge of my private feelings about anything, and no knowledge of my circle of friends. Perhaps one so self-congratulatory as she is in this letter can properly speak only of her own loved ones. The drama in question here is the one being performed in a New York theater, and not some imaginary, personal drama between Lillian Hellman and me, of which I know nothing.”
