5.0 out of 5 stars
Still the best of the bunch
Years have passed. Several Tallulah biographies have appeared. But Lee Israel's witty and wonderful book towers above the rest --an opinion shared by Robert Gottlieb of The New Yorker.

This review is from: Miss Tallulah Bankhead. (Hardcover)
Inspired by the Ya Ya's (see Rebecca Wells: "Little Altars Everywhere" and "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood") to learn more about this elusive creature I got more than I bargained for with this biography of Tallulah. Putting her career in historical and policitcal context Miss Bankhead came alive as I learned of how her famous political family and fear of abandonment drove her to seek accolades in the serious theater and her long search for companionship. Although the author's style is a bit staid the subject brings this book to life: the Algonquin Round Table, John Barrymore, Eleanor Rooselvelt, London theater, Broadway, Hollywood and the "Citronella" Circuit, and of course, Tallulah herself. It may be worth the out-of-print search if you've tired of having all you know of Tallulah come from drag queens.
