Pentimento is a novel by American writer Lillian Hellman, published in 1973. The book is a collection of portraits of people who were important in Hellman's life, including her childhood friend Julia, her lover Dashiell Hammett, and her maid Helen. The novel was adapted into a film in 1977 with the title "Julia", directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave.
Lillian Florence Hellman was an American playwright, prose writer, memoirist, and screenwriter known for her success on Broadway as well as her communist views and political activism. She was blacklisted after her appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) at the height of the anti-communist campaigns of 1947–1952. Although she continued to work on Broadway in the 1950s, her blacklisting by the U.S. film industry caused a drop in her income. Many praised Hellman for refusing to answer HUAC's questions, but others believed, despite her denial, that she had belonged to the Communist Party.
