      Only know her as the woman who got sued by Lillian Hellman. Thanks to this page, now I know she’s Kevin McCarthy’s sister, too.

    Very interesting lady. I could listen to her speak for hours. Seeing the host light a guest's cigarette though, wow, I had no idea that happened. It's absolutely mind boggling to me that smoking was so accepted. That said, I found nothing surprising about this line from her Wikipedia page, "McCarthy died of lung cancer on October 25, 1989." Almost exactly 20 years after this aired. Very interesting stuff. I wish there was still television like this being made. Cheers.

    There was a modern day newspaper column based on The Group, called Sex In The City, which was made into the tv series.

      I wish I read the comments before watching the video a half dozen times to determine what was going on there. Yowza.

    I used to work with her niece in San Francisco at the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf from 1979-81 but can't remember her niece's name..

    This is triggering for adhd. First, was that Duke Ellington? Second, what’s going on with her speech? Next, is she casually lighting up a cigarette in the middle of the interview? Finally, could this be the interview that generated the slander suit by Lillian Hellman? I would love to see how Dick stirs the pot in the moments preceding McCarthy leveling a judgment. Guaranteed he goads her.

    She looks a lot like her brother, Kevin.

      Mind blown at that connection. Thank you for sharing!

    Her flippant derogatory remarks of others cost her dearly, in the end. Lillian Hellman bled her dry in legal fees, over a putdown made on this very show. She had it coming, and she paid.
