#4 Bankhead hit from every side of the plate.

Her family were major Dems:

Bankhead came from a powerful Democratic political family in the South in general and Alabama in particular. Her father was the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1936-1940 (in the 74th, 75th, and 76th Congresses), immediately preceding Sam Rayburn. She was the niece of Senator John H. Bankhead II, and granddaughter of Senator John H. Bankhead. Bankhead herself was a Democrat, albeit one of a more liberal stripe than the rest of her family.

#5 I wonder if her ambidextrity kept her from the Scarlet role?

#6 Fred, I do appreciate the opportunity you give us to see these women in their prime, particularly since previously I'd only seen them in their old age when I couldn't figure out what the attaction was.

#7 I remember in her later years that Merv Griffin used to always have her on. I also remember that she always seemed to be seriously trashed.

#8 "I also remember that she always seemed to be seriously trashed."

You'd be trashed, too, tu - if your name were "Tallulah."

Wait - tu3031 does begin with a "T"....
