    Looks like she was the role model for Mae West :)

    Bankhead began to attract a passionate and highly loyal following of gay men, some of whom she employed as help when her lifestyle began to take a toll on her, affectionately calling them her "caddies".

    She enjoyed knitting woolen breasts which she donated to hospitals to help new moms with breastfeeding.

    Okay, I totally made that up. But I did read about a woman who does this. She gives them to her daughter, a nurse educator, to use for her job at a local hospital.

    She was truly an original, and unlike what someone here said NOT the model for Mae West....Mae came along way before Tallulah!!!

    but both were really original ladies.......Mae being the more talented of the two, as she was a playwright and wrote ALL her own dialogue in her movies.

    Tallulah was one of the most colorful personalities in show business in her day..........

    and as the saying goes,........'we shall never see their likes again'.....

    people from those years make today's 'celebrities' look like huge, no-talent fakes.......

    oh well...........
