Tallulah Bankhead

Gosh Kistin, that's a blast from the past. It prompted me to read The New Yorker's biog of her (2005). I hadn't appreciated what a force of nature she was.

(Her last public appearance was on The Tonight Show alongside Lennon and McCartney.)

So many great one-liners said by her and about her. I liked this one from a fellow countryman and namesake Emlyn Williams about her 'endlessly characterized baritone gurgle of a voice' :-

"Steeped as deep in sex as the human voice can go without drowning"

Another from her:

“I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late start without me.”

On the Tallulah theme I put this up on the YouTube vid thread.

And one from Hitchcock during the filming of Lifeboat.

Ok. The last couple from 'Tallulah' from me.

To a stranger: " I am a lesbian, what do you do?"

And.

"I could never be a lesbian, they have no sense of humour".

I’m desperate, you’ve pulled.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
