Tallulah Bankhead: A Scandalous Life
Robson Books, 1997. Hardcover. Item #444564 Born in Alabama in 1903, she became a big star in London in the early 1920's. Branded "an unsafe and unsavory person" by the Hays commission in the early 1930s. In this highly entertaining book David Bref tells Tallulah's story in the only way it could be told: with shocking honesty and wit. What emerges is a vivid portrait of an immoral and wicked woman who was every inch a star and remains one of the greatest legends this century has seen.
