#	Quote
1	[on Bette Davis] Bette and I are very good friends, There's nothing I wouldn't say to her face, both of them.
2	They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.
3	I've played "Private Lives" everywhere except underwater.
4	Do you want to know why the Giants are going to win the pennant? Well, darlings, I can tell you in two words: Willie Mays.
5	There have been only two geniuses in the world, Willie Mays and Willie Shakespeare. But, darling, I think you'd better put Shakespeare first.
6	[on being told there was no toilet paper available] Well, do you have two fives for a ten?
7	[To 27 year old bride-to-be Helen Hayes, who was getting married to Charles MacArthur, who asked her what she could do to avoid getting pregnant]: Just what you've always been doing, darling.
8	[when researcher Alfred Kinsey asked her for details about her sex life]: Of course, darling, if you'll tell me yours.
9	[when a young actress told her that she drank cranberry juice every morning] Oh, my God, cranberry juice? When I was 16, dahling, I had a shoebox full of cocaine.
10	On strategy: I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.
11	I've tried several varieties of sex, all of which I hate. The conventional position makes me claustrophobic; the others give me a stiff neck and/or lockjaw.
12	Say anything about me, dahling, as long as it isn't boring.
13	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 [Bette Davis]. When I get hold of her, I'll tear out every hair of her mustache!
14	No man worth his salt, no man of spirit and spine, no man for whom I could have any respect, could rejoice in the identification of Tallulah's husband. It's tough enough to be bogged down in a legend. It would be even tougher to marry one.
15	Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.
16	Cocaine isn't habit-forming. I should know - I've been using it for years.
17	My father warned me about men and booze, but he never mentioned a word about women and cocaine.
18	I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water - I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.
19	I'm as pure as the driven slush.
20	It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time.
21	If you want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling -- be an audience.
22	[on why she called everyone "dahling"] Because all my life, I've been terrible at remembering people's names. I once introduced a friend of mine as Martini. Her name was actually Olive.
23	Acting is a form of confusion.
24	The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
25	The only man in theater who can count on steady work is the night watchman.
26	I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.
27	[on seeing a former lover for the first time in years] I thought I told you to wait in the car.
28	I was there in the south of France when Zelda [Fitzgerald], poor darling, went off her head. She had gone into a flower shop and suddenly for her all the flowers had faces. Of course, some flowers, such as pansies, DO have faces.
29	[when asked by gossip columnist Earl Wilson if she had ever been mistaken for a man on the telephone] No, have you?

#	Fact
1	According to friend Patsy Kelly, Bankhead used the monogram TBB because when she originally used TB, it was jokingly said to stand for "Total Bitch.".
2	Tennessee Williams wrote four characters for her: Myra Torrance in Battle of Angels, Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, Princess Kosmonopolis in Sweet Bird of Youth, and Flora Goforth in The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore.
3	Father: William B. Bankhead; Mother: Adeline E. Sledge.
4	Named after the Tallulah Falls in Alabama.
5	Her mother died of complications of childbirth shortly after she was born. According to actress Hedy Lamarr, who met Tallulah, when the latter was doing stage in Vienna, in an interview, shortly before her own death, until the day she died, Tallulah had blamed herself for her mother's death. Evan Tallulah's father could not convince her otherwise.
6	Was referenced in the 1958 song "Give Him the Ooh-La-La" by Blossom Dearie.
7	Irving Rapper said the actress's screen test for Amanda Wingfield in "The Glass Menagerie" was the greatest performance he had ever seen in his life. Jack Warner feared casting two alcoholics in the film (Errol Flynn had already been cast), and though Tallulah promised not to drink during filming, the role was given to Gertrude Lawrence, whose acting was panned by most critics.
8	Once told an interviewer that the reason she addressed everyone she saw as "Dahling" was because she was bad at remembering names.
9	She was close friends with Zelda Fitzgerald and Estelle Winwood.
10	Was an avid baseball fan, especially of the New York Giants and Willie Mays.
11	Her father was Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1936 to 1940.
12	Profiled in the book "Funny Ladies" by Stephen Silverman (1999).
13	Was considered for the role of Margo Channing in All About Eve (1950) after Claudette Colbert dropped out due to a back injury before filming began. However, Bette Davis, who went on to receive a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance, was cast instead.
14	She smoked 150 cigarettes a day.
15	Her last coherent words were "Codeine... bourbon".
16	Her role as the Black Widow on the television series Batman (1966) is the last on-screen appearance she made.
17	Loved jazz music and was a mainstay at many popular jazz clubs in New York and Los Angeles.
18	Was nominated for Broadway's 1961 Tony Award as Best Actress (Dramatic) for "Midgie Purvis".
19	A bisexual, she had a one-time affair with actress Hattie McDaniel, according to chronicler of the Hollywood underground Kenneth Anger, and a longer-term arrangement with singer Billie Holiday, according to Joe Lobenthal's "Tallulah! The Life and Times of a Leading Lady".
20	Originated the female lead in Clifford Odets "Clash by Night" on Broadway. The role was taken by Barbara Stanwyck in the movie Clash by Night. She also originated the Broadway lead in "Reflected Glory", which became a Joan Crawford vehicle, and "Dark Victory" and "The Little Foxes", both which became Bette Davis vehicles to her chagrin.
21	She was infamous for not wearing underwear. According to Hume Cronyn, during the filming of Lifeboat (1944) the crew complained about her flashing them when she had to climb a ladder to go into the mock-up of a lifeboat. When their objections to Bankhead's exhibitionism reached director Alfred Hitchcock, he reportedly quipped that he did not know if it was a matter for wardrobe or hairdressing.
22	She was said to be the inspiration for the character of Cruella De Vil in Walt Disney's 101 Dalmatians (1961).
23	At a press conference once, she said, "I'm so glad to see there's a man here from the New York Times, because if I say 'goddammit', they will print it 'good heavens' or 'good gracious.'".
24	In 1949, Procter and Gamble launched a radio advertising campaign for its Prell shampoo, using a jingle and the character "Tallulah the Tube". Miss Bankhead was so closely identified by her first name that she sued, eventually settling out of court.
25	She narrowly missed out getting the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939), which went to Vivien Leigh.
26	The screen credit for her role as the Black Widow on the television series "Batman" (1966) "Miss Tallulah Bankhead".
27	Sent to Catholic convent schools by her father in the hopes (unrealized) that she would learn to stay out of trouble.
28	She was a member of a clique of lesbians and bisexuals in the Algonquin round table called the "Four Horseman of the Algonquin", consisting of her, Eva Le Gallienne, Blyth Daly, and Estelle Winwood.
29	An ardent supporter of civil rights, Bankhead was the first white woman to appear on the cover of Ebony magazine. She also appeared on the cover of TIME and LIFE.
30	Was an animal lover who collected assorted pets, including a pet lion named Winston Churchill, a myna bird named Gaylord, and a monkey named King Kong.
31	She is credited with helping Truman win the 1948 election by publicly castigating rival candidate Dewey. President Harry S. Truman claimed that her 1952 autobiography was the best book he had read since coming to the White House.
32	Considered one of the "Great Ladies" of 20th century Broadway, she also conquered other mediums - appearing on film, radio, and television.
