    I can't believe that this woman is not very well known today. She embodies a very distinctive voice and a very Imitatable persona like Marilyn Monroe. I hope I am not the only young person discovering this divine lady She is simply Dahling!!!

    A true original, there will never be another like Tallulah! Too bad she is nearly forgotten, she should be more appreciated. Aside from her stage career, she was wonderful in the far too few films she was in. I particularly liked 'The Cheat'.

      If you like Tallulah, check out her appearance on the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour from 1957. I've heard Lucy tell the story that Tallulah was so unreliable during rehearsals she (Lucy) was afraid the taping of the show would be a complete disaster. But Tallulah was spot on and hilarious throughout. Check it out!

      @Cheryl Lynne: Being anti-German because of WW2, she made negative remarks toward her Austrian co-star in "Lifeboat." Here's a quote from IMDB's trivia page on the film:
      "Tallulah Bankhead was noted for her fierce political positions, including a vehement hatred of the Axis powers during World War II. Although co-star Walter Slezak was an outspoken critic of the German government, his Austrian background and the Nazi character he played in this movie put him firmly in Bankhead's sites, and she insulted him constantly. When Italy surrendered during filming, and Slezak expressed the hope that this would bring the war to an early end, Bankhead spat out 'I hope they spill every drop of German blood there is. I hate them all! And I HATE YOU!' All he could say was 'I'm sorry about that, Tallulah.'"
