If Only Tallulah Bankhead Were Alive Today: Life Would Be More Interesting

So, dahling, I got off the boat at Laglia, which sounds like a lesbian sex act. I told them I needed some hashish but I really just wanted a few minutes to myself.

And who did I run into but George Clooney sporting big fluffy chin whiskers?

I asked if I could touch his beard and he said of course, so I cupped my hand around Amal's breast and smiled.

Dahling, it was better than Bellagio.

Kardashians? Don't they sell rugs in the Valley, dahling?

Every time Bernadette Peters talks to me I find myself wondering what ever happened to Chip and Dale.

Dahling. the only thing I know about Trans matters is vampires and non-binary sounds a phobia about abacuses. No offense, of course. But doesn't announcing one's dietary constraints before one has been invited to dine risk seeming presumptuous?

And I do wonder if picky eaters ever get the sense of what a banquet is, poor darlings.

Oh, and I can attest that Miss Jorgensen was a real woman.

Oh, here you are, Retta, dear.

Listen, I'll have to owe you until I can get to the bank. I understand your coin slot it so worn out it only takes silver dollars.

I LOVE Tallulah! She is mesmerizing. There is a funny video in which Bea Arthur describes meeting her, and how Tallulah was a cunt to her (even though they bleep out Bea saying "cunt" in this video).

Yes, Disney has come to me several times asking me to do voice-overs as the villain in their cartoons.

I keep turning them down but always tell them thank you for letting me know that there was a lower point possible for my career than that revival of "Milk Train" in 1964.

Dahling, compared to me Elaine Stritch was a contralto and Bea Arthur a boy tenor.

I always bring up shish like this with my much younger husband. Celebrities are so careful and d-u-l-l dull today. What I would give for a good old classic bitch today…and one who has a way with words. Instead, we have Chrissy Fucking Teigen.

Yes!

Lucy: "You'll have to excuse him, Miss Bankhead, he's from Cuba."

Tallulah: "Yes, I had a feeling he wasn't from Alabama...!"

Bette Davis, whatever happened to her?

You know, dahling, they tell me this Miss Bacall person is something of a bitch and I simply don't see it. I lunched with her at the Brown Derby and she was perfectly pleasant after I told her how her husband got his nickname.

Well, perhaps "shell-shocked" more than "pleasant".

That face, R11! Did you ever see such a tragic face?

by Anonymousreply 13August 31, 2021 2:16 AM

This was one of the comments in R6's link:

[quote] Kate Hepburn, always VERY secretive and closeted about her personal sex life... Was walking into a Hollywood party... As she passed by Tallulah and her entourage, Tallulah said "Kate darling, you are looking Fabulous this evening, join us for a drink, we were just having A Ball discussing how many lesbians there were here tonight"... Kate very carefully answered "I don't understand, what exactly do you mean by A Lesbian?"... Tallulah replied as she raised her straight whiskey into the air in a cheer "Well DAHLING, If YOU Don't know what A Lesbian Is, than trust me, No One Does" (and gulped down her drink in one swallow)

"Hashtag me, too? Well, ME TOO, darling! Me, too! Why, I was raped by none other than Harvey Weinstein. I was all of twelve when he did it, too. Raped me right there, on his driveway. Oh, it was awful, darling. Just awful, being raped on that driveway. All that gravel, you know, darling. All that gravel. Very uncomfortable. It's why I say, 'If you must rape someone. . .Now, listen darling because you might need this advice one day. . .if you must rape someone, on cotton sheets and a firm Sealy mattress only." By the way, this podcast is brought to you by Sealy. Have sex on a Sealy, I say. All right, then. Who's our next guest? Ah! Marie Osmond! I love a good Asian!"

Darling, every time someone asks me where I’m streaming I answer “only with close friends and when we’re both in the mood.”

Isn't it delicious that they're calling those [italic]dahling[/italic] RuPaul girls "Real Housewives of New York City"? None of them can pass to save their lives, of course, especially the "royal" from Connecticut who sounds like Eugene Pallette. Simply a CAUTION!

I decided to visit one of those little Confession closets they use at St. Patrick's to see what sort of penance deal the priest would offer me.

After twenty minutes of my expositing some of the particulars of my early, I heard the person behind the screen either fanning himself briskly or committing a dubious outrage on himself. And there was nothing furtive about it.

Well, dahling, what could I have expected from a man wearing more lace than my Aunt Augusta could fit into her trousseau?

... and before the elevator door closed, I told that Ann Coulter, "Dahling, it was such a pleasure to make your acquaintance! You're the nicest hermaphrodite I've ever met!"

Why don't any of these delightful young men on "The Grindr" give me the time of day? Everybody knows I simply ADORE anal!

When she left Alabama to head to New york, her father told her to stay away from men and booze. She later recounted, “he made no mention of ladies and cocaine”.

What an amazing testament to the marvels of modern medicine that one can now achieve "vaginal rejuvenation." It reminds of that time a drunkard accosted me on the street and said, "Y'know, I could really use a little pussy." I told him, "Me too, dahling—mine's as big as a hat!"

Pity, though, that Helen Lawson didn't get the memo—last time I saw her out and about, it looked like she was smuggling a Shar-Pei in her undercarriage!

Dahlings of the Dayta-Lounge,

I thought you all quite strange with the endless references to "Vivian Vance." [italic]Who is that? Some twee fiction, like Gertrude Lawrence's career?[/italic] I wondered. Then I fired up "The Google" and got my answer—it was dear Cunty from that old Lucille Ball gig! (Or was it "Ball gag?")

by Anonymousreply 26September 1, 2021 2:41 AM

"CORN FELLATIO"? If I didn't know better, I'd think you were referring to that old Julie Andrews stag reel!

by Anonymousreply 27September 1, 2021 3:27 AM

I’m reading a Tennessee Williams bio. He and a few others go to Tallulah’s 57th Street apartment for dinner. She has a maid who serves them who Tallulah calls the name “Cunty.” As in, “Cunty, my glass is empty.” There are so many anecdotes with her, it makes your head spin.

by Anonymousreply 28September 14, 2021 3:36 AM

Vivan Vance?

Dahling, she played a maid and wasn't even African!

Even I could beat Monty Clift in a sword fight. Why, once when we were cavorting I mistakenly struck it against a match box trying to light a cigarette.

He was abrased, Dahling.

Of course it didn't really matter. Once he asked me to guess where he hid the snooker balls.

I never understood why the studios thought Bette Davis should play my stage characters on the screen. We were very different people, after all.

I mean, I never killed MY husband, Dahling.

Hitch was always there to help me down from that ridiculous boat contraption on the Lifeboat set.

And by "help me down," Dahling, I mean plug my lady hole with his thumb because he knew I didn't wear anything under the costume.

"For modesty's sake, Miss Bankhead," he would quietly rumble. "The crew have never seen a modern woman before."

Lovely Alma was not fooled.

Yes, I knew Helen Lawson. Many years ago, Dahling. Well after her prime.

But then every military post, venereal-disease staff and horsefly knew her, too, wherever she happened to be.

It looks like a penis...only smaller.

Joan Crawford was probably the best known actress in Hollywood at the time.

Of course some parts of her were better known than others, Dahling. Her cunt was an institution.

I let Helen Keller Braille-read my pussy once.

I returned the favor by lip-reading hers.

I have always supported the handicapped, Dahling.
