Gladys Hall interviews Tallulah Bankhead

The Author

The Article

Tallulah Bankhead was a Hollywood film star actress , best known for her roles in "They knew what they wanted" and "Little Foxes".

As written in the article many Hollywood stars and people had much negative views and opinions on Tallulah's behaviour and personality:

"unreserved", "promiscuous" ," not serious about love ,life or anything"

1930's she rented a home at Stanley street in Hollywood and began hosting parties that were said to 'have no boundaries' . Tallulah married the actor John Emery ,just over four years she filed for a divorce. She said she had not intentions of remarriage. There were rumours of her sexuality being homosexual , she was romantically linked with many notable female personalities of the day one being ' Garbo'

Bankhead never publically described herself as bisexual but did however call her self 'Ambisextrous' . Tallulah died December 1968 of pleural pneumonia.

Katy Perry or Madonna are the two celebrities which I would see similar to Tallulah as Madonna is one of many divorces and has had many rumours spread about

her and she has also starred

in a few Hollywood movies.
