Re: Tallulah Bankhead
I haven't seen Main Street to Broadway, don't know much about that film, but here are a couple of promotional photos of the two "heads" together
Re: Tallulah Bankhead
Main Street to Broadway. I've never seen it myself... but then I have to say I am not getting TCM so chances are small anyway. Her part couldn't have been that big, but it would be very interesting to see.

Re: Tallulah Bankhead
Hi,
"M to B" is about a small town girl who comes to NY to 'be on Broadway' - don't they all???
See meets our two ladies and also Ethel Barrymore along the way.
Tallulah plays herself and is in a play about the American housewife and hams it up to make it more interesting!
She does voice the great line after reading the play - "Wasn't Daisy Drudge available, darling!!".... I've used this line myself over the years....
You're right, she wasn't in it very long, but hers was the best part in it...

Re: Tallulah Bankhead
I have seen pics of her doing the "American housewife".. it looks, um, unusual. But interesting. I hope, to see it one day, as it's for sure worth because of her... and if the rest isn't I can still fast forward to her scenes.Vecchiolarry wrote: Tallulah plays herself and is in a play about the American housewife and hams it up to make it more interesting!

Re: Tallulah Bankhead
I'm just looking at my library catalogue for books on Tallulah, are there any you'd recommend?

Re: Tallulah Bankhead
Ok, the best book is definitely "Tallulah - The Life and Times of a Leading Lady" by Joel Lobenthal. The book by Lee Israel is also good, easier to read than the former one. Definitely avoid the books by David Bret and Bryony Lavery. Others by Kieran Tunney or Dennis Brian are nice reads, but something you could keep for later.charliechaplinfan wrote:I'm just looking at my library catalogue for books on Tallulah, are there any you'd recommend?

Re: Tallulah Bankhead
Thank you, i'm going to rent the book you recommended. I don't mind reading in depth books.

Re: Tallulah Bankhead
I saw Tallulah in Lifeboat, her character is how I'd imagine her to be in real life. I've got the Tallulah book you recommended from the library, Libertine to see how close she is to Connie.

Re: Tallulah Bankhead
I love her in Lifeboat, especially how the whole thing with the bracelet works out.

Re: Tallulah Bankhead
Yes, she sheds her belongings and with every belonging she learns a little more about life and what is important.
