Tallulah Bankhead (1902–1968) was a legendary American actress known as much for her gravelly voice and sharp wit as for her powerhouse performances on stage and screen.
Born into a prominent political family in Alabama, Bankhead defied social norms to pursue a career in acting, eventually becoming a sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End. She is best remembered for her iconic role in Alfred Hitchcock’s film Lifeboat (1944) and her acclaimed stage performance in The Little Foxes.
Beyond her talent, Bankhead was a true free spirit who lived life on her own terms, famous for her flamboyant personality and her tendency to call everyone “dahling” because, as she admitted, she was terrible at remembering names. These striking portraits capture the magnetic charm and fearless personality of Tallulah Bankhead, one of the most outrageous and unforgettable stars of her generation.
