Happy birthday to Tallulah Bankhead!
31 January 1902
Actress, wit, and walking double entendre. Openly bisexual, wildly charismatic, and utterly uncontainable, Bankhead became a queer icon through sheer force of personality and refusal to behave.

#Alabama Book of the Day: This early bio of actress & #Huntsville native Tallulah Bankhead was published in 1974. Did you know that Tallulah was a wild, lusty & passionate Goddess?? She died in 1968 tinyurl.com/gntumtz #TallulahBankhead
Born in Alabama in 1902, American actress Tallulah Brockman Bankhead began her stage career in London during the 1920s. Known for her sultry voice and languorous sophistication, Bankhead had a magnetic quality that made her a popular success. While performing in London, Bankhead decided to "consent to immortality" and sit for the talented and flamboyant artist Augustus John. "At that time," she confided in her 1952 autobiography, "I was the toast of London and that was some toast, dahling." Bankhead is portrayed by John as a pensive young woman in a dusty rose, intricately patterned gown sitting gracefully, her contemplative expression and elegant attire creating a mood of quiet glamour. She has light blonde, shoulder-length wavy hair styled in a fashionable manner for the 1920s. Her facial features are delicate and well-defined; she possesses pale skin, blue eyes, and her lips are painted a distinct reddish hue. John, a recently elected member of the Royal Academy and famous for his uninhibited lifestyle as much as his artistic talent, was himself the well-known in London. Bankhead made John promise to sell her the finished portrait for Β£1,000. Until passing in 1968, she kept the painting on display in her bedroom, where both business associates and friends gathered to visit the incessantly smoking, charismatic actress. In America, Bankhead twice won the coveted New York Drama Critics Award: first in 1939 for her powerful performance as Regina in "The Little Foxes," and later in 1942 for her role as Sabina in "The Skin of Our Teeth." In the late 1940s, Time magazine called her βthe theaterβs first personality.β Her career spanned other media as well: in Hollywood, she notably starred in Alfred Hitchcockβs Lifeboat (1944); on radioβbilled as βthe glamorous, unpredictable Tallulah Bankheadββshe emceed NBCβs Sunday-night The Big Show (1950β51). On television, she co-hosted All Star Review and was a popular guest on I Love Lucy and The Jack Benny Show.

TALLULAH BANKHEAD, LIFEBOAT
Tallulah Bankhead is truly scrumptious throughout all of Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat. Her line deliveries are so varied and her feelings of contempt, compassion and caring are truly wonderful to experience.
