FTP, name this American playwright of Watch on the Rhine, The Children's Hour, and The Little Foxes.
In her later years, she edited the letters of Anton Chekhov, wrote the plays The Autumn Garden and Toys in the Attic, and defended herself from charges of fabricating parts of her biographies in An Unfinished Woman and Pentimento.  In her major works, she created such characters as Mary Tilford and Regina Hubbard.  Perhaps more famously she refused to indicate her connections to Communism in a 1952 hearing, stating "I will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions" and she was the model for Nora Charles, a creation of her lifelong lover Dashiell Hammett.
