From Wikipedia:
In 1933, while performing in Jezebel, Bankhead nearly died following a five-hour emergency hysterectomy due to gonorrhea, which she claimed she had contracted from either Gary Cooper or George Raft. Weighing only 70 lb (32 kg) when she left the hospital, she vowed to continue her lifestyle, flippantly telling her doctor “Don’t think this has taught me a lesson!”
And there’s no Tallulah Bankhead biopic somehow.
Prudishness. She’s the somewhat rare, high-profile woman hedonist. Open about her (bisexual) sex life and was a southern-born anti-racist. It’d be a great story to tell but I think they’re afraid.
Where the hell is Fassbinder when we need him? Can someone do some black magick shit to bring him back to do one more for the homies?
