Comment about Lillian Hellman in a televised interview in 1979 on The Dick Cavett Show; this prompted a defamation suit against McCarthy which was dropped after Hellman's death. "If someone had told me, don't say anything about Lillian Hellman because she'll sue you, it wouldn't have stopped me. It might have spurred me on. I didn't want her to die. I wanted her to lose in court. I wanted her around for that."
