"Don't think I don't know who's been spreading gossip about me...After all the nice things I've said about that hag! When I get hold of her, I'll tear out every hair of her mustache!" - Tallulah Bankhead on Bette Davis
Whether intentionally or not the look of Bette's Margo Channing is surely based on that Tallulah style, even Edith Head's dress is very Tallu ...
My very favourite Tallulah quote is the one with the weekend guest being woken up by the butler offering a large gin and tonic - Tallulah sweeping by says "better drink it darling, there won't be any more served until after breakfast".
AtStirred, Straight Up, with a Twist, it helps to remember that it is permanently 1962 (give or take a decade); and that the problems of the real world can be solved with a touch of glamour and a dash of style.
Thanks for visiting, have fun, and please feel free to add your wit and sparkle to the proceedings!
