Tallulah Bankhead was known just as much for her off-stage presence as she was for her on-stage performances. Fearless from birth, Tallulah charted her own course in life. She trudged off to New York to make it big in theater when she was still a teen. She then saw opportunity calling on the other side of the Atlantic and didn’t hesitate to hop on a steamship and head to England, chasing her dreams until they became a certain reality.

You will listen about:

  • Early Life and Discovery

She was someone who refused to conform to anyone’s standards, determined to live life to its fullest, and on her own terms. The life and legacy of Tallulah Bankhead is an impressive one by anyone’s standards.
