#17  She was gruesome. She affected a drole accent to mimic a bona fide thespian, in order to proffer false credentials. She was one of the first of the no talent celebrities: famous for being famous.

#16  Indeed Eric he did, he was a bad 'un. I think his brother Frank (seriously) is still alive, lives up the street and spends his pension playing the lottery.

#15  3 out of 4? Which item isn't bad? I put my money on lesbian. Offspring of diplomats are a well known evil.

#14  Shipman, as I remember, Claude Pepper also practiced nepotism in his very own family.

#8  In her later years, while entering the Brown Derby restaurant, Tallulah ran into a young starlet who held the door for her, saying "Age before beauty!"

Unfazed, Tallulah breezed past, saying "Pearls before swine!"...

#7  I bet she was a thespian too!

I read somewhere there was a political campaign during the Victorian age - I can't remember who it was, where the "smear" against the other guy was - "...his sister is a notoriuos and unrepentant thespian."
Pretty funny I think.

#4  Beosoker,
Sadly, Miss Tallulah never hid her proclivities, but say this about her: she never took any sh*t about it, as demonstrated by the following quote:

"My father warned me about men and booze... but he never said anything about women and cocaine."

#3  Mike:

Agree with you on the US State Dept. connection, but am deeply troubled at the other assertions! Many of my closest friend here have had a lot in common with her!

#2  Ah...Tallulah. Daughter of a diplomat, lesbian, alcholic, and a certifiable wack job.
