I knew Tallulah. I was at her house, Windows, in Connecticut one day by way of being a guest of Director Robert Lewis and she showed A ROYAL SCANDAL. Her comments were classic and some are unprintable. It was like being in the room with a living volcano. I don't think she stopped talking except to swallow. She was really one of a kind and a really amazing actress. Roger P. Myers [email protected].
shareHer comments were classic and some are unprintable.Shame about that
This was the 2nd Tallulah film I saw, after DIE! DIE! MY DARLING!, probably around 1967/68 on an afternoon telecast of NBC-TV Channel 4's "Movie Four" in Brooklyn - 4:30PM - 6PM - they chopped up those classics like mad!!!
Anyway, I'm revisiting it now for the first time since then - at the time I had no idea who some of the cast members were (aside from Tallulah and Vincent Price, whom I was already familiar with thanks to my indulgence in horror films which, as I've mentioned, provided my introduction to Tallulah...)
"Remind me to tell you about the time I looked into the heart of an artichoke."
It's a pity that Vincent Price only appears in the film for the last few minutes. I would have loved to have seen a whole movie of him and Tallulah Bankhead together.
shareWow. I envy you. I wish you would write ablog about the evening.
