In the golden age of American theater, no celestial body shone
more dazzlingly than Tallulah Bankhead. Outrageous, outspoken, and
totally uninhibited, she was an actress known as much for her
offstage vices as for her onstage roles--the cocaine and alcohol,
the blistering tirades, and her scandalous affairs with both men
and women.
In "Tallulah!," author Joel Lobenthal has captured the private
essence of this most public of Broadway stars, the irrepressible
diva who enjoyed intimate relationships with the top entertainment
luminaries of her day, from Tennessee Williams and Noel Coward to
Marlene Dietrich and Billie Holiday. Here also are the close and
personal details of her family life and doomed romances, drawn from
scores of exclusive interviews, and previously untapped information
from Scotland Yard and the FBI. This is the definitive biography of
Tallulah Bankhead, a woman even more complex, more nuanced, and
more shocking than her notorious mythology suggests.
