Hi Karine thanks for yet another iconic video. Please be a darling and cover Kola Boof some time. I would love to know the inside details of what I think is a very fascinating character. Her writing for Days of our lives, being a concubine to a dictator, fued with Kimora etc. I’ll be so excited and grateful if you’d do that. Thanks my love and keep doing what you do. We LOVE your work mama. ❤
That's a lot of soul ties. It's not an issue of morality. Forget that. You sleep with alot of people..the Bible says you become ONE with them. This means physically and spiritually. You take on their demons. No joke. Fo REAL y'all!

@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom I couldn't agree with you more. It's not lack of parental love, nor self-loathing. A lot of people who've been sexually abused during their formative years become hyper-sexualized as adults, and have problems with addiction. Or, I could 100% wrong, and she was just a psychopath. Either way, she caused quite a bit of damage to others. Very sad, indeed.
Yeah it’s why most people live such a life. As much as we like to defend it as someone just living their life to the fullest and being carefree and exploring their sexuality it usually stems from a dark place of loneliness and needing to fill a void. I wish we wouldn’t overly glorify this because usually it is only hurting the person more as they can’t refuse the attention but it also kills them inside. Not to mention that she carelessly transmitted deseases to people which is so terrible.

Being currently at the 54th chapter of my life I do self reflect often. There are some things I find myself in a rush to ether finish up or experience before it's too late. At this age you see just how fast these years move. I can remember my 20's as if less than 10 years past. It's crazy. I will say to those whom are young reading this, life moves much faster than you experience. If there are things you want to accomplish start them now!
Very solid advice. I will be 43 next year and time does fly and goes faster when you get older! My passion is music and I am blessed my dad got me my first guitar at 13, I didn’t play much in my 20s but got back into playing all the time before I turned 30. Always make time to do what you love because life is short!
Sound advice from you and the person who responded to you. I'm 73, how the heck did that happen? Used to wonder why I lived so long then at 68 I had to adopt my grandson to keep him out of DCYF. Fortunately I found the perfect family to adopt him from me. I see him regularly. Now I say, what's next Lord? I'm still here and did everything I wanted to do in life. Always felt fulfilled. So I'm ready for the next chapter. Thanks for the advice.💙
She was clearly a psychiatrist’s nightmare. But I think she was looking for love any way she could find it. When you have a giant hole in your heart, in your life(her mom passing, etc), you tend to find anything to fill that giant need. She was more than likely severely depressed and possibly had BPD.
@@JoyandBliss_ZenBuddy exactly! The lust. The reprobate behaviors. The unwillingness to face that consequences are real- that's ....self centered,and ignorant behavior.
Her promiscuity screams of childhood sexual trauma. Every woman I knew who had something happened to them as a child acted out later on as an adult, ie; sleeping around, sex work, drug and alcohol abuse, etc are the aftermaths of such abuse at a young age. If you want to read about a crazy era, Weimar Republic. I think too, after one of the worst wars in history people were in a perpetual shock.
@@toomuchinformation Yes, I have watched an episode here and there. Unfortunately I would have to use a vpn as Netflix France doesn't have this show on their list. It's a good show.
Gonorrhea is a common VD that is treated with penicillin. By the time you are covering, "The Clap" was common. My father told me that he had it six times while serving in the Navy during WW2. If it goes untreated in women, it can cause sterility.
I may not condone the behavior. But I respect her. She didn't bring children into her party lifestyle. She didn't make anyone do what they didn't want. She was transparent. She had talent. That can't be said about a lot of today's celebrities who are known simply for being scandalous
Had nothing to do with the quality of cameras and whatnot. People were indeed more attractive in the past. Why? Non processed wholesome food with zero chemicals, produce was more mineral rich being grown in clean soil, clean water, clean air, using holistic medicine and not drugs with terrible side effects, significantly less stressful lifestyle, and not being over taxed by social media and bombarded by yet another tragedy in news just to name a few. Our world is now so toxic that it is destroying our health and aging us faster.
No there were not. They did not have advanced techniques in film or digital to do that. It is because of the quality of their diet, the planet (air, water, etc) and lifestyle where everyone looked healthier back then.
My grandmother went to Hollywood at 16, (1945) and managed to get roles as an extra, but she came back home. My mom doesn’t know why. I think it’s because she wouldn’t sleep with the directors. She had potential I’m sure, but she was a young girl. I wish I had the full story, but I don’t and she passed away in 2012.
I know...that was pretty iconic 🤭She was just authentic 🤷♀ Her lifestyle was not for everyone and yes she made have needed help, but we can still respect and remember her with love today.
I've heard some WILD stories about her,😮 There is always a reason for people's behavior and you never know what someone has been through,😔 R.I.P. Ms. Bankhead❤️🕊️🤎
As someone with BPD, ADHD, CPTSD and OCD I recognise A LOT of her behaviours! Although I’ve never been anywhere near half as wild as Talulah, I can see a lot of similarities between me and her. I hope she’s at peace now ❤
Having all those illnesses with money, in the limelight, and with those looks that’s a serious recipe for disaster or a wildass ride of a life that’s for sure!!!
BPD AND CPTSD? Interesting.....BPD is hella overdiagnosed...its usually just CPTSD....CPTSD can cause executive dysfunction and look like ADHD as well so.
That kind of life isn't " living on your own terms" Seems like she was desperately trying to cover hurts and emptiness. Also being trapped in a gilded cage isn't something to romanticize. Geez
Well you just don’t know, some people are troubled, some eccentric some wild. All types. Maybe she was living on her own terms. Everything isn’t always black and white. Interesting video!
Her uterus basically rotted out. No, really. Her womb became infected via Gonorrhea and she had to have a hysterectomy. She told the med staff "If you think this will stop me you're wrong."
Wow that is terrible! She was a really sick person to say that! I wonder if it went to her brain. Some stds if left untreated over a long period of time can cause insanity.
Folks read articles about her. A lot of youtubers ignore things she said, i saw one article where she describes depression to a T but they obviously didnt recognize depression as such at that time. Poor girl was wild as fuck but it was to cover up something deeper.
🤎As a kid, I remember watching her in an old Hitchcock movie called "Lifeboat" -- she really stood out as a character. Beautiful eyes with a distinct look and very talented. I think she did really well to make it to 66 before she died.
I requested this! Thank you so much for this! I was just thinking the other day- the same people who praise her for her personality would be be dragging her if she were alive today. Thank yoouuuuuu Karine!!
Sounds like a combination of manic depression and something I've read about called hysterical personality disorder (doing ANYTHING to gain attention...remember them having to throw water on her as a young person?) Although she WAS stunning looking, and quite a good actress in the few things I saw her in, I always got a strong vibe of the most desperate psychological pain from her. It makes it difficult to enjoy her glamour.😢
She lived as she wanted too in a time where it was taboo too, and she was talented, beautiful, strong willed, and hilariously witty, she never brought children into the world because she knew the life she wanted to live did not include that. A carefree spirit indeed. She would be famous now for sure. ❤this was a good & interesting one karine
What a promiscuous life ! Let's not glamorous this saying that was fun ! I believe she had mental issues and was very troubled. I believe the same about men like this basketball player who had around 1000 people in his bed. This is sickness. Hope she found peace later in her life !
I agree. Men nor women should do that to themselves. There might have been trauma. Don't understand why people say she lived a cool life. Something seemed off. Nice she stood up for civil rights but something sad about her
Her eyes are so sad and soulful. I'm sure at some point in her young life someone blamed her for her mother's death. There were and always will be gossip mags but there were lines they didn't cross. In this day and age very few care about "leaking" another's pains more so they live for it. She didn't apologize or blame anyone for her choices it seems. She said it and did it her way. I love your mini bio's on stars they may have been forgotten or unknown to younger generations
Wow I was just watching the Netflix series Hollywood and I thought how Talulah Bankhead is someone nobody really talks about today. Then my darling Karine posted this video. Thank you Karina I love your channel so much! Plz do more videos on Bollywood celebrities like Sridevi and Silk Smita. Thank you ❤❤❤
I feel like Bankhead was getting ill from the ph imbalance and soul ties. She lived a lot longer than I expected 😂. I would like to see a breakdown of Cab Calloway and Burt Lancaster. Loving the content 🔥
Talluhah seemed to think of herself as trash. Throwing yourself all over the place to everyone seems trashy and seems to reflect a lack of self respect or value.
When you don't get love and attention as a child, bad things happen. Like throwing yourself into drugs and promiscuity. My brother died at 59 - lack of love from Mom and an absent father - wild life, early death.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 - Wrong! That's the wisdom of some who knows how this wild life ends. I have been an artist my whole life and used to be very wild too but evolved and changed b/c I could see I was on the road to death. Now I am more alive and younger as an older person than I was when I was younger which was when I was a super cynic. You can turn things around - but only IF YOU WANT TO and most ppl don't want to b/c most hate change. I love change - thank God - which is also the sign of a true artist. A real artist wants to grow and change but art that is controlled by Hollywood is the kiss of death to the spirit of art - hence why most celebs like this vid examines - are not in touch w/ real change or real art, or actual reality and why they fall victim to addictions and vice: H-wood brainwashes you b/c it is a culty town & its lifestyles it promotes and PRESSURES you to partake in - are narcissistic and narrow-minded, which is the ultimate killer of all growth. I'd love to see a video series of non-famous artists who do really evolve and PROGRESS as they live in indie environments on their own terms and conditions where they are not conditionED. H-wood loves to use that word 'progression' - but they don't know the meaning of such a word. It escapes them and this is why they chase it so hard. The irony of always wanting what you can't have or what is hard to capture. But you can only capture what you deserve and really need when you're willing to change weak things about yourself. And that is how you ironically change the world. This is why Hollywood is dying right now w/ its multiple strikes, terrible movies and Oscars w/ its ratings getting lower & lower.
My one criticism for this is that you didnt bring up her philanthropy. She was a life-long liberal even though she came from a racist south and also recognized and helped her Black relatives. Good vid, as it gave a brief overview, but a lot was missing.
She also loved animals, and had both cats and dogs in her home. She even had a lion which she eventually had to give up to the zoo. She also wrote novels, and she painted. Additionally, she highlighted the importance of blood donation, although she was anaemic and was nor allowed to donate herself. Watch the Tallulah Bankhead interview by Edward R. Murrow in the 1953 edition of "Person to Person" to learn more about her.
@@danilaroche1156 It's not up to anyone to say whether she was fulfilled. Why judge someone who's dead? She lived how she wanted to, and died in her old age
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Most people aren't as severely degenerate and sick as Tallulah was. She clearly had a personality disorder and was an extremely evil woman. Why are you running around making excuses for her? Are you also promiscuous?
I was a fan of Tallulah, she was a very authentic and talented actress and had such a cool glam vibe about her. Didn’t know about her personal life until this video. Makes you wonder if there was sexual abuse of some kind because just attention-seeking from an absentee parent doesn’t usually lead to that level of promiscuity. Although some women, who greatly fear abandonment, become the aggressor so they can be in control and be the one who doesn’t form attachment bonds and does the dumping. Also some people are born a bit hollow, they don’t evidence any real passion or love for anyone, not even for themselves. And so they drive themselves rough, always seeking pleasure, pain, shock, or whatever can make them feel something, anything, some twinge of actually being alive, because of the inner deadness that plagues them. It could be a part of the brain that had damage from birth, or a gene. No one knows. But there should be more studies. Thank you for the sensitive and intelligent recounting of her life.
People who are a bit hollow. I have used those words to describe some people who don’t seem to have a soul or a heart. In a lotta cases from early trauma, but some seem born that way. The difference is in the eyes. There are those with trauma who are as sensitive and gentle as can be imagined and whose hearts are still open, also.
Hi Karine, I normally don’t watch Hollywood sites, scandal or otherwise, but I absolutely love classic film and the players of that time. The Archive has lots of old movies, commercial free, and I’ve found my favorite actors’ films there. I had only seen a much older Tallulah on a “I Love Lucy” episode, (entire series is on Archive), so I had to watch your video. She was truly a beauty, looking much like Carole Lombard, (whom I adore), in some of the pics. Totally enjoyed watching this and will definitely look for her films on the Archive. Thanks much for awakening me to the young Tallulah. Blessings.
It’s unfortunate how some men and women associate being a free spirit with being sexually irresponsible. I respect her for not bringing any children into the world. Not every woman and or man will be a parent and or needs to be one! So get over it! Look at how much love and care her father showed them… RIP to her 💐💐
Thanks for Sharing! I never knew much about her but the Hollywood lifestyle isn’t all that it seems, I once heard a saying that women give s*x to get love, while men give love to get s*x , don’t know if this was the case with her but she was obviously seeking something that she never found, may she rest in peace.
Omg! Wild! Can't help but feel her permisscuousness came from home too! That sadly can start at very young age from lack of parental control or from abuse at early age.
150 cigarettes is like 7.5 packs a freaking day. I don’t know how she managed to do much of anything else but smoke! I mean she could certainly have sex while she was smoking, but I would imagine that her lovers probably ended up with some burn marks in some really unpleasant places. And I suspect the reason she was malnourished wasn’t just the blow, but rather that she refused to put down her cigarette long enough to chew & swallow her food.
Her affairs and drugs point, to me, to trauma, hiding from trauma. I was hoping we might find out her shoe size, I say this because her fame was immense in the 30s and 40, and the Warner Brothers cartoons played in movie theaters at the time often characatured her with huge feet, when that cartoon showed up she was always tripping on her feef, which were depicted in the cartoon as huge. (With Gable it was a wrinkled forehead, etc). Large feet were considered a serious liability at the time, something to he embarrassed about...
Sadly she seemed to be afflicted with addictions such as chemical addictions. He more than likely stemmed from past childhood traumas as well as poor self-image and self-esteem issues.
I recently read Tallulah's biography. And she was incredible, outgoing, bold, smart, sassy and shocking. She is named after Tallulah Falls in Georgia, my homestate. RIP Tallulah ❤❤
Wow, that is deep. She was very talented. I agree with you Karine. Some of her issues stem from her childhood. I sympathize with her. With her mom passing away at a young age. I believe she was looking for love. It’s sad!🥲 She lived her life on her own terms. But getting sexual transmitted diseases is no joke. And all the people who she transmitted too. Thank you Karine for sharing!! Sending you, Karine and everyone here love, light and good deeds.❤️❤️🙏🙏☮️☮️
I totally agree she reminds of Madonna w/ her mother passing away young & going to Catholic school & becoming rebellious. And pushing the limits as an adult.
Not everyone did drugs! That is a fact! There are choices! I grew up in the sixties, never did drugs or alcohol or Marijuana as they called it then! My parent grew up in the 30s they didn't either,nor my greatgrandparents! People were too busy making a living and trying to pay off their homes! And run their businesses! We were all born and raised in downtown L.A.! So it is possible to come from a big city or anywhere l think and not do things that are unhealthy! It is a state of mind.....
I live in Washington state now but grew up in Decatur, Alabama, which is a county away from Huntsville is located. I could be in Huntsville in 20 minutes. When I was growing up, everyone still talked about the Bankhead family fortune and the rebellious Tallulah. To my knowledge, even into the late 1990s when I was a teen, the Bankheads were prominent in the Huntsville area.
She's just a person with a sadness of abandonment from childhood. Speak on her, but do not judge, because you have your skeletons too. She didn't know how to love herself so she set no boundaries on who TO love. A sad story of real feelings that we all have felt but may have been lucky enough to overcome...
Something was definitely off here. It seems to me that she had Mommy and daddy issues. She just wanted to be loved I guess she just DIDN'T KNOW how to expressive it In any other way, but physical performance.
Most ppl would be put off by her behavior. If she had been a man doing these things I don’t think there would have been even a care. I may not agree with her life style. I am glad that we have come far enough along that I don’t think she would be put under a microscope as bad as she was then. We still have along way to go as women.
I think Tallulah's sexuality wasn't BECAUSE of depression or anxiety. It's possible to both have those things AND to just like sex. I say this bc in the comments I see a lot of people linking the two. I had a bestie growing up that I just lost to cancer...she and I both started having sex young (15) but I always had a long term boyfriend whereas she was super boy crazy just jumping from boyfriend to boyfriend. Technically, I was the one having more sex bc I was in a long term relationship. She didn't view sex or having lots of boyfriends as anything other than just enjoying her life and just an additional way of getting to know somebody or sharing fondness for them. She, like Tallulah, would just tell somebody to their face that she liked them and "we're gonna make out" and her boldness made people be like, "OK." I always admired her for that and envied her confidence. Sometimes people said no and she was like, "Okey doke!" It's not even that she wasn't trying to fall in love. She DID but then she liked SO many people for SO many reasons and just couldn't stick to one person for long LOL. I just think sometimes having a lot of sexual partners or partying ISN'T due to or solving depression and/or anxiety. It's possible to have depression and/or anxiety and also to have a lot of sex or party a lot and have those things be unrelated. It's only if we see sex and partying as "bad" things that we link them to mental health issues. For my friend, it was just a healthy, value neutral expression of love and joy and being alive. She didn't judge herself or allow herself to be judged. I, personally, am not able to have sex with somebody unless I have a romantic emotional connection to them and it takes a lot for me to form such a connection. She could form that connection with anybody BUT ALSO she didn't need it either. She was just having fun and probably so was Tallulah LOL.
🤎 Bankhead is legend. She also used her position as the daughter of the House Speaker to save a lot of people from the Holocaust. She's probably more like Madonna or Lady Gaga if you're looking for a modern-day parallel.
Her wild life, like many other pre-code and roaring twenties days actors, was fine with movie fans, until a little later. If we look at actors like Clara Bow and her younger days, we can easily understand their carefree existence and actions. Gable used rich older women to get his start and slept with every costar. Fans were okay with this behavior, then they weren’t. Mysterious deaths weren’t uncommon, like that of Thelma Todd. Wild life, lots of cash and a new, exciting industry of movies and magazines was the entertainment of the day.
Tallulah was one nympho! Talk about a total ID, good for her, she had fun in life but sadly she was a cocaine addict, (so was Freud) and later an alcoholic, in those days, people didn't think too much of what they did to their health.
I love this era. Think how different it really was than any time before this for women. She was middle finger up, and lived the way she wanted to. She did seem troubled, but moved through it with determination and strength. Addiction has burdened every generation. It probably always will.
🤎 I think she didn’t have anyone to love or care about how she treated herself. She didn’t love herself. My opinion. We have so many outlets today and we know drugs kill and sexually transmitted diseases shorten our lives. It’s not a badge of honor to have no self respect.
Sounds as if she suffered from profound depression. Drinking and drugging. Jailbait-26!? She was nasty. Boys. She was reckless and selfish. She needed medical care. 500 people, not good. She was not loved, nor did she love anyone. So, lonely! Did she even have a dog? Nope. Pathetic life. Sorry for her. Poor little rich girl. Reminds me of the poem about Richard Corey.
Human beings are said to be a combination of the animal and the divine, and she opted to follow her animal instincts... not always the best decision...
I take my dog to the church area down the road to play almost everyday. Have been doing that for 4 years and just TODAY discovered her gravesite as a man was putting gifts on her site. What a fascinating life. R.i.p. Tallulah.

People exaggerated back then just like they do today.
Probably a job requirement considering what’s been revealed about Hollywood lately. Tame even.
Despite all her wild ways.....I see a sadness in her face, in each photo. Poor soul.

So true, a soul without Jesus Christ 💔
No surprise. Maybe her ways were due to some trauma
Maybe in Hollywood if you want movie rolls/work, you have to sleep around.
I feel most if not all of her problems go back to a lack of parental love. If you don't receive love from both your parents, it's very hard to love yourself.
It’s one thing to not love yourself, but actively and remorselessly hurting others is more than not feeling loved by your parents.
Miss Bankhead was also an alcoholic. Also so was Elaine Stitch in the same league.

Agreed , the love you received from you parents determines your future
As much “fun” as she seemed to have living wild, she lived a miserably tortured life.
Amazing she made it to 66 honestly !
Exactly 💯
yeah. the wildness was a desperate attempt at finding love and happiness and surprise! it just makes life worse
Yeah it’s why most people live such a life.

@@toomuchinformation Yes, I have watched an episode here and there. Unfortunately I would have to use a vpn as Netflix France doesn't have this show on their list.
It's a good show.
@@carolharper4401 Absolutely and it's sad. The whole "I wish I was dead" attitude is disturbing.
I concur.
Gonorrhea is a common VD that is treated with penicillin. By the time you are covering, "The Clap" was common. My father told me that he had it six times while serving in the Navy during WW2. If it goes untreated in women, it can cause sterility.
I thought the "clap" was chlamydia. And it sounds like your dad was a disgusting man.
If she were alive today, she'd own social media.
Yup! Give Kim a run for her money
BIG BIG FACTS
❤ facts 😂
She'd be cancelled and wouldn't give a damn
Hahaha OR be "Canceled" sigh......
I may not condone the behavior. But I respect her. She didn't bring children into her party lifestyle. She didn't make anyone do what they didn't want. She was transparent. She had talent. That can't be said about a lot of today's celebrities who are known simply for being scandalous
Well it looks like she may have been spreading STIs
She was also anti racist. Levels. We’re ALL more than one thing.
Nah, I can’t respect someone who knows they have a deadly disease and willingly choose to spread it for their own temporary fulfillment
Ummm... Did you not hear the part about messing around with 5 Eton boys when she was 26? Eton boarding school is ages 13 to 18.
idk why, but ppl really look so beautiful back then. the style of makeup and hair looked good on everyone
Because the cameras were not HD. It's also a black and white filter.
Aand,-You had to BE Beautiful to be in film or stage back then,,-Unlike today,,,
Most photos of Hollywood stars were heavily retouched.
Had nothing to do with the quality of cameras and whatnot. People were indeed more attractive in the past. Why? Non processed wholesome food with zero chemicals, produce was more mineral rich being grown in clean soil, clean water, clean air, using holistic medicine and not drugs with terrible side effects, significantly less stressful lifestyle, and not being over taxed by social media and bombarded by yet another tragedy in news just to name a few. Our world is now so toxic that it is destroying our health and aging us faster.
No there were not. They did not have advanced techniques in film or digital to do that. It is because of the quality of their diet, the planet (air, water, etc) and lifestyle where everyone looked healthier back then.
My grandmother went to Hollywood at 16, (1945) and managed to get roles as an extra, but she came back home. My mom doesn’t know why. I think it’s because she wouldn’t sleep with the directors. She had potential I’m sure, but she was a young girl. I wish I had the full story, but I don’t and she passed away in 2012.
That’s exactly what would have happened . The directors were disgusting
As you said, you think 🤔🤔 she maybe had no talent. If she went to Hollywood @ 16yrs old she has done something's 💯
She is such a legend 😂 love her quote “My father warned me about men and booze but he never said anything about women and cocaine.”
Ehhh cocaine is nothing to brag about… it’s nothing legendary or yasss queen about having drug problems
@@SocialExperiment232 well I love the quote and think the idea of her girl on girl antics and cocaine are fabulous 😂
@@starsigngirl9789 ah yes… hardcore drugs are fabulous… sigh. Hope you don’t have children to teach about this fabulousity.
I know...that was pretty iconic 🤭She was just authentic 🤷♀
Her lifestyle was not for everyone and yes she made have needed help, but we can still respect and remember her with love today.
@@nataaa____ yes 🙌❤️
She is physically beautiful, but it’s extremely sad how destructive she was to herself and others.
If only she had gotten the help she needed.
I've heard some WILD stories about her,😮 There is always a reason for people's behavior and you never know what someone has been through,😔
R.I.P. Ms. Bankhead❤️🕊️🤎
As someone with BPD, ADHD, CPTSD and OCD I recognise A LOT of her behaviours! Although I’ve never been anywhere near half as wild as Talulah, I can see a lot of similarities between me and her. I hope she’s at peace now ❤
Having all those illnesses with money, in the limelight, and with those looks that’s a serious recipe for disaster or a wildass ride of a life that’s for sure!!!
This!
Thank you for your honesty. A lot of people are pressed in the comment section.
BPD AND CPTSD? Interesting.....BPD is hella overdiagnosed...its usually just CPTSD....CPTSD can cause executive dysfunction and look like ADHD as well so.
@@nateo200 listen I’m just listing what I’ve been officially diagnosed with, I’m well aware there’s lots of overlap/co-morbidities etc 🤷🏼♀️
That kind of life isn't " living on your own terms" Seems like she was desperately trying to cover hurts and emptiness. Also being trapped in a gilded cage isn't something to romanticize. Geez
You said it best. Many times we become myopic. We can develop tunnel vision.
Well you just don’t know, some people are troubled, some eccentric some wild. All types. Maybe she was living on her own terms. Everything isn’t always black and white. Interesting video!
So this is interesting…my mother’s last name is Bankhead…my grandmother is a Bankhead. Her father was mixed race and…Tullulah is her Aunt.
Oh wow! She was beautiful
Was Tullulah mixed race too? Probably
Wow
Genealogy to find out.
Her uterus basically rotted out.
No, really.
Her womb became infected via Gonorrhea and she had to have a hysterectomy.
She told the med staff
"If you think this will stop me you're wrong."
What an incredibly sick individual. I don't even feel sorry for her, because she did so much harm to other people. She was an incredibly evil person.
@@lilyw.719 That level of sexual indiscretion at at a time when there were few accessible cures-you have a point.
Yep saddest eyes
Wow that is terrible! She was a really sick person to say that! I wonder if it went to her brain. Some stds if left untreated over a long period of time can cause insanity.
@@denisecampbell5013One of the best thing she could have done was not bring a child into this world
Folks read articles about her. A lot of youtubers ignore things she said, i saw one article where she describes depression to a T but they obviously didnt recognize depression as such at that time.
Poor girl was wild as fuck but it was to cover up something deeper.
She was truly over the top! Lol almost scandalous for her time! It’s so fascinating. Thank you Karine!
Almost? With 500 rumored bodies on her bedpost... Now that's the understatement of the year. 🙄🤔🤔
🤎As a kid, I remember watching her in an old Hitchcock movie called "Lifeboat" -- she really stood out as a character. Beautiful eyes with a distinct look and very talented. I think she did really well to make it to 66 before she died.
I requested this! Thank you so much for this! I was just thinking the other day- the same people who praise her for her personality would be be dragging her if she were alive today. Thank yoouuuuuu Karine!!
Great Request!
Sounds like a combination of manic depression and something I've read about called hysterical personality disorder (doing ANYTHING to gain attention...remember them having to throw water on her as a young person?) Although she WAS stunning looking, and quite a good actress in the few things I saw her in, I always got a strong vibe of the most desperate psychological pain from her. It makes it difficult to enjoy her glamour.😢
My mother looked almost exactly like her-beautiful!
She is undeniably beautiful but hearing all this also make her look dirty :c
Are you talking about histrionic personality disorder?
I believe today that would be called histrionic (instead of "hysterical" )
It's called being from Alabama..
Those eyes had soooo much attitude 😳🇬🇧🤎
She lived as she wanted too in a time where it was taboo too, and she was talented, beautiful, strong willed, and hilariously witty, she never brought children into the world because she knew the life she wanted to live did not include that. A carefree spirit indeed. She would be famous now for sure. ❤this was a good & interesting one karine
What a promiscuous life ! Let's not glamorous this saying that was fun ! I believe she had mental issues and was very troubled. I believe the same about men like this basketball player who had around 1000 people in his bed. This is sickness.
Hope she found peace later in her life !
I agree. Men nor women should do that to themselves. There might have been trauma. Don't understand why people say she lived a cool life. Something seemed off. Nice she stood up for civil rights but something sad about her
You're referring to Wilt Chamberlain, the basketball player, who slept with 20,000 women.
Are you jealous?
@ssissigui8846 Don't worry about her life. Worry about you and your sins.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I absolutely adore learning about stars from the 20's-40's. Their lives were incredible! Thanks for a great video! ♥
I think she was crazy, and a narcissist. She didn't care at all about her self and the lovers she was involved with.
Yes and she sounds Bipolar too. Even in her youth
@@garycooper9207probably borderline as the two illnesses get confused. Sounds more like a personality disorder then just a mood disorder.
A truly horrible person
How do you know what or who she cared about? She was married once, which was better than her sister who married seven times..
Hun thats how she became an actress,being a narc + a 304 = career in hollywood 😂
Her eyes are so sad and soulful. I'm sure at some point in her young life someone blamed her for her mother's death.
There were and always will be gossip mags but there were lines they didn't cross. In this day and age very few care about "leaking" another's pains more so they live for it. She didn't apologize or blame anyone for her choices it seems. She said it and did it her way. I love your mini bio's on stars they may have been forgotten or unknown to younger generations
I LOVE Tallulah! The Bette Davis of Theater. Even more witty and intelligent.
This helps address my pet peeve: People saying,”The kids today are so much worse than we were.” Ummmmm
Wow I was just watching the Netflix series Hollywood and I thought how Talulah Bankhead is someone nobody really talks about today. Then my darling Karine posted this video. Thank you Karina I love your channel so much! Plz do more videos on Bollywood celebrities like Sridevi and Silk Smita. Thank you ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! And I got you ♥️♥️♥️
Yes Yes Please, Karine. More Bollywood beauties!❤
What is the name of the Netflix show
❤
Thank you for your story! I was always fascinated by her. She definitely was wild, but traveled, but that’s why I think she’s even more fascinating.
She was a beautiful woman with many complicated issues. They know much more today than they did then.
So she was a pedophile…? Let’s not glamorize that.
I feel like Bankhead was getting ill from the ph imbalance and soul ties. She lived a lot longer than I expected 😂. I would like to see a breakdown of Cab Calloway and Burt Lancaster. Loving the content 🔥
Ooooo…. Good suggestions!
No such thing as soul ties
Soul ties exist as much as Santa Claus does.
Soul ties 100% exist.. Sex affects our body, mind, & soul. I can’t imagine how it must have affected her soul.
@@chasitydeanna4861 I agree!!! How can u not believe in soul ties?!
I love your voice, I love your stories, and I love the compassion that you have for your fellow human beings. Stay Blessed! Thank you! 💛
I agree.🫶🏻
@@JuliaShalomJordan Oh mee too 😊
Talluhah seemed to think of herself as trash. Throwing yourself all over the place to everyone seems trashy and seems to reflect a lack of self respect or value.
I think you're definitely right...
When you don't get love and attention as a child, bad things happen. Like throwing yourself into drugs and promiscuity. My brother died at 59 - lack of love from Mom and an absent father - wild life, early death.
I can say the same for the majority of male celebrities.
That's the impression of a prude.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 - Wrong! That's the wisdom of some who knows how this wild life ends. I have been an artist my whole life and used to be very wild too but evolved and changed b/c I could see I was on the road to death. Now I am more alive and younger as an older person than I was when I was younger which was when I was a super cynic. You can turn things around - but only IF YOU WANT TO and most ppl don't want to b/c most hate change. I love change - thank God - which is also the sign of a true artist.
A real artist wants to grow and change but art that is controlled by Hollywood is the kiss of death to the spirit of art - hence why most celebs like this vid examines - are not in touch w/ real change or real art, or actual reality and why they fall victim to addictions and vice: H-wood brainwashes you b/c it is a culty town & its lifestyles it promotes and PRESSURES you to partake in - are narcissistic and narrow-minded, which is the ultimate killer of all growth.
I'd love to see a video series of non-famous artists who do really evolve and PROGRESS as they live in indie environments on their own terms and conditions where they are not conditionED. H-wood loves to use that word 'progression' - but they don't know the meaning of such a word. It escapes them and this is why they chase it so hard. The irony of always wanting what you can't have or what is hard to capture. But you can only capture what you deserve and really need when you're willing to change weak things about yourself. And that is how you ironically change the world. This is why Hollywood is dying right now w/ its multiple strikes, terrible movies and Oscars w/ its ratings getting lower & lower.
I wonder if she was abused as a child. She was so promiscuous and she wanted to die. She sounded really depressed and like she was self destructive.
She was
My one criticism for this is that you didnt bring up her philanthropy. She was a life-long liberal even though she came from a racist south and also recognized and helped her Black relatives.
Good vid, as it gave a brief overview, but a lot was missing.
Thats not liberal because the democrats didn't want to abolish slavery. Republicans did. Get your political history correct next time. You're welcome.
Right she was even black. Listed for supporting liberal causes
Blacklisted and black. Listed = not the same thing!@@devanshepard9118
She also loved animals, and had both cats and dogs in her home. She even had a lion which she eventually had to give up to the zoo. She also wrote novels, and she painted. Additionally, she highlighted the importance of blood donation, although she was anaemic and was nor allowed to donate herself.
Watch the Tallulah Bankhead interview by Edward R. Murrow in the 1953 edition of "Person to Person" to learn more about her.
Your political party doesn’t determine if your racist or not. And I have found northerners are far more racist than the south
People who give themselves over to darkness never end well, unless of course they have a change of their stone heart.
I haven't even watched this yet, but I'm so excited to see Tallulah! She was a wild woman and I love it. Can't wait to watch!
❤🤎
Wild does not equal fulfilled.
@@danilaroche1156 It's not up to anyone to say whether she was fulfilled. Why judge someone who's dead? She lived how she wanted to, and died in her old age
@@skipp10467to sleep around with everyone to the point she is infected? Is that really what is good?
Hollywood was off the hook in the 1930s. Her story is just one of one thousand or more.
I think Tallulah had some type of mental issues.
Most people do.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Most people aren't as severely degenerate and sick as Tallulah was. She clearly had a personality disorder and was an extremely evil woman. Why are you running around making excuses for her? Are you also promiscuous?
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329What? That’s not true.😒
Who don't?
I agree because she was really out there. She needed medication and help.
I was a fan of Tallulah, she was a very authentic and talented actress and had such a cool glam vibe about her. Didn’t know about her personal life until this video. Makes you wonder if there was sexual abuse of some kind because just attention-seeking from an absentee parent doesn’t usually lead to that level of promiscuity. Although some women, who greatly fear abandonment, become the aggressor so they can be in control and be the one who doesn’t form attachment bonds and does the dumping. Also some people are born a bit hollow, they don’t evidence any real passion or love for anyone, not even for themselves. And so they drive themselves rough, always seeking pleasure, pain, shock, or whatever can make them feel something, anything, some twinge of actually being alive, because of the inner deadness that plagues them. It could be a part of the brain that had damage from birth, or a gene. No one knows. But there should be more studies. Thank you for the sensitive and intelligent recounting of her life.
Excellent comment!
it could be something else, but i am leaning harder into abandonment and early sexual abuse. plus its more common in alabama in general.
People who are a bit hollow. I have used those words to describe some people who don’t seem to have a soul or a heart. In a lotta cases from early trauma, but some seem born that way. The difference is in the eyes. There are those with trauma who are as sensitive and gentle as can be imagined and whose hearts are still open, also.
Hi Karine, I normally don’t watch Hollywood sites, scandal or otherwise, but I absolutely love classic film and the players of that time. The Archive has lots of old movies, commercial free, and I’ve found my favorite actors’ films there. I had only seen a much older Tallulah on a “I Love Lucy” episode, (entire series is on Archive), so I had to watch your video. She was truly a beauty, looking much like Carole Lombard, (whom I adore), in some of the pics. Totally enjoyed watching this and will definitely look for her films on the Archive. Thanks much for awakening me to the young Tallulah. Blessings.
I'm surprised she made it past 30.
Tallulah Bankhead smoked 120 cigarettes daily no wonder she died at age 66...
It’s unfortunate how some men and women associate being a free spirit with being sexually irresponsible.
I respect her for not bringing any children into the world. Not every woman and or man will be a parent and or needs to be one! So get over it!
Look at how much love and care her father showed them…
RIP to her 💐💐
She lived one hell of a life.
♥️🤎
That kind of behavior shouldn't be glorified. I don't know why this got recommended to me. No thanks
Thanks for Sharing! I never knew much about her but the Hollywood lifestyle isn’t all that it seems, I once heard a saying that women give s*x to get love, while men give love to get s*x , don’t know if this was the case with her but she was obviously seeking something that she never found, may she rest in peace.
Omg! Wild! Can't help but feel her permisscuousness came from home too! That sadly can start at very young age from lack of parental control or from abuse at early age.
Thank you for pointing out that ppl were not much different from today……..everybody did everything and everyone back then 👀.
Perhaps today people could even be sued by a partner if they found out the person who slept with them knew they had a sexual transmittable disease.
Ms. Tallulah was truly something else lol she truly lived her life. Have you done a video on Paul Newman. He would make an iconic choice
He’s on my list! He lived too lol 😂 old Hollywood really had some tea
@@KarineAlourde Honestly hollywood should bring that quiet tea part back 😂. We don't know nothing until videos like these are made 😂 😂
@@KarineAlourdeyees. He's supposedly not as straight as everyone thinks.
150 cigarettes is like 7.5 packs a freaking day. I don’t know how she managed to do much of anything else but smoke! I mean she could certainly have sex while she was smoking, but I would imagine that her lovers probably ended up with some burn marks in some really unpleasant places. And I suspect the reason she was malnourished wasn’t just the blow, but rather that she refused to put down her cigarette long enough to chew & swallow her food.
Yet she lived to 66...
Thank you for this video! Tallulah was very famous in her day but almost forgotten now.
Her affairs and drugs point, to me, to trauma, hiding from trauma. I was hoping we might find out her shoe size, I say this because her fame was immense in the 30s and 40, and the Warner Brothers cartoons played in movie theaters at the time often characatured her with huge feet, when that cartoon showed up she was always tripping on her feef, which were depicted in the cartoon as huge. (With Gable it was a wrinkled forehead, etc). Large feet were considered a serious liability at the time, something to he embarrassed about...
Sadly she seemed to be afflicted with addictions such as chemical addictions. He more than likely stemmed from past childhood traumas as well as poor self-image and self-esteem issues.
I recently read Tallulah's biography. And she was incredible, outgoing, bold, smart, sassy and shocking. She is named after Tallulah Falls in Georgia, my homestate. RIP Tallulah ❤❤
I love visiting Tallulah Falls, the gorge, and N Ga in general ❤. Going again this fall 😁
You don't RIP without repenting and Jesus
Wow, that is deep. She was very talented. I agree with you Karine. Some of her issues stem from her childhood. I sympathize with her. With her mom passing away at a young age. I believe she was looking for love. It’s sad!🥲 She lived her life on her own terms. But getting sexual transmitted diseases is no joke. And all the people who she transmitted too. Thank you Karine for sharing!! Sending you, Karine and everyone here love, light and good deeds.❤️❤️🙏🙏☮️☮️
I totally agree she reminds of Madonna w/ her mother passing away young & going to Catholic school & becoming rebellious. And pushing the limits as an adult.
Talented? Is this a joke?
@@esquibelle Yes!! I saw her movies. She was good in my opinion.
💝She was just more honest I think. And I say what you said all the time; nothing's really changed💦; they just hid it from the 'moral majority".
Billie Holiday once warned to her "Don't be shitty, Banky!" - when Tallu was nervous (!) about Holiday leaking some sordid facts.
Lol, secrets secrets!
I'm sure Bankhead could've cared less!! Sounds like she thrived on Scandalous things said about her
Karine Alourde',
You are Wonderful!!! Your presentations are wonderful and down to earth. Thank you, Again!!!!
Wow she was really amazing and I love how she lived life on her own terms..!!! She’s definitely a legend!! ✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️
Not everyone was on “some”substance in the past. Yes, some were, but not everyone.
Agree, that was a surprisingly insensitive statement.
Not everyone did drugs! That is a fact! There are choices! I grew up in the sixties, never did drugs or alcohol or Marijuana as they called it then! My parent grew up in the 30s they didn't either,nor my greatgrandparents! People were too busy making a living and trying to pay off their homes! And run their businesses! We were all born and raised in downtown L.A.! So it is possible to come from a big city or anywhere l think and not do things that are unhealthy! It is a state of mind.....
All of the classic symptoms of depression!
I live in Washington state now but grew up in Decatur, Alabama, which is a county away from Huntsville is located. I could be in Huntsville in 20 minutes. When I was growing up, everyone still talked about the Bankhead family fortune and the rebellious Tallulah. To my knowledge, even into the late 1990s when I was a teen, the Bankheads were prominent in the Huntsville area.
She's just a person with a sadness of abandonment from childhood. Speak on her, but do not judge, because you have your skeletons too. She didn't know how to love herself so she set no boundaries on who TO love. A sad story of real feelings that we all have felt but may have been lucky enough to overcome...
I remember seeing her on an episode of The Lucy & Desi Show, what a hot mess!
❤️ 😂🤎
Billie Holiday or even Lenny Kravitz would be an amazing video to do. Thank you Karine for these videos ❤️🤎
And she was madly depressed.... that kind of life kills your soul.
Something was definitely off here. It seems to me that she had Mommy and daddy issues. She just wanted to be loved I guess she just DIDN'T KNOW how to expressive it In any other way, but physical performance.
Sounds exactly like the comments of a person who is sexually and socially repressed

Most ppl would be put off by her behavior. If she had been a man doing these things I don’t think there would have been even a care. I may not agree with her life style. I am glad that we have come far enough along that I don’t think she would be put under a microscope as bad as she was then. We still have along way to go as women.
This is the definition of Histrionic Personality Disorder.
Interesting, thank you for your objective perspective...as always
I can understand being heartbroken losing your wife, but to give up on your daughters like that is an abhorrent move. Terrible father.
I think Tallulah's sexuality wasn't BECAUSE of depression or anxiety. It's possible to both have those things AND to just like sex. I say this bc in the comments I see a lot of people linking the two. I had a bestie growing up that I just lost to cancer...she and I both started having sex young (15) but I always had a long term boyfriend whereas she was super boy crazy just jumping from boyfriend to boyfriend. Technically, I was the one having more sex bc I was in a long term relationship. She didn't view sex or having lots of boyfriends as anything other than just enjoying her life and just an additional way of getting to know somebody or sharing fondness for them. She, like Tallulah, would just tell somebody to their face that she liked them and "we're gonna make out" and her boldness made people be like, "OK." I always admired her for that and envied her confidence. Sometimes people said no and she was like, "Okey doke!" It's not even that she wasn't trying to fall in love. She DID but then she liked SO many people for SO many reasons and just couldn't stick to one person for long LOL. I just think sometimes having a lot of sexual partners or partying ISN'T due to or solving depression and/or anxiety. It's possible to have depression and/or anxiety and also to have a lot of sex or party a lot and have those things be unrelated. It's only if we see sex and partying as "bad" things that we link them to mental health issues. For my friend, it was just a healthy, value neutral expression of love and joy and being alive. She didn't judge herself or allow herself to be judged. I, personally, am not able to have sex with somebody unless I have a romantic emotional connection to them and it takes a lot for me to form such a connection. She could form that connection with anybody BUT ALSO she didn't need it either. She was just having fun and probably so was Tallulah LOL.
Rest in Peace Children Are Products of Their Environment I Would Have Loved To Meet Her.
🤎 Bankhead is legend. She also used her position as the daughter of the House Speaker to save a lot of people from the Holocaust. She's probably more like Madonna or Lady Gaga if you're looking for a modern-day parallel.
I would LOVED to have met this incredible woman!!!!
Her wild life, like many other pre-code and roaring twenties days actors, was fine with movie fans, until a little later. If we look at actors like Clara Bow and her younger days, we can easily understand their carefree existence and actions. Gable used rich older women to get his start and slept with every costar. Fans were okay with this behavior, then they weren’t. Mysterious deaths weren’t uncommon, like that of Thelma Todd. Wild life, lots of cash and a new, exciting industry of movies and magazines was the entertainment of the day.
I love this woman from the minute i heard about her last year
She was a beautiful woman with a wild and crazy life. So talented and I am happy to call her cousin..❤❤❤❤❤
Tallulah was one nympho! Talk about a total ID, good for her, she had fun in life but sadly she was a cocaine addict, (so was Freud) and later an alcoholic, in those days, people didn't think too much of what they did to their health.
She loved black women they were her weakness she was in love with miss Billie holiday ❤❤
Tallulah and Hattie Mc Daniels getting together really boggles the imagination !
I love this era. Think how different it really was than any time before this for women. She was middle finger up, and lived the way she wanted to. She did seem troubled, but moved through it with determination and strength. Addiction has burdened every generation. It probably always will.
She was super nasty.
🤎 I think she didn’t have anyone to love or care about how she treated herself. She didn’t love herself. My opinion. We have so many outlets today and we know drugs kill and sexually transmitted diseases shorten our lives. It’s not a badge of honor to have no self respect.
Sounds as if she suffered from profound depression. Drinking and drugging.
Jailbait-26!? She was nasty. Boys. She was reckless and selfish. She needed medical care. 500 people, not good. She was not loved, nor did she love anyone. So, lonely! Did she even have a dog? Nope. Pathetic life.
Sorry for her. Poor little rich girl.
Reminds me of the poem about Richard Corey.
I thought Bettie Davis was the inspiration for Cruela Da Ville. She had Bettie Davis eyes.
You’re pathetic for dragging a long deceased troubled woman
She needed Jesus as we all do.
She was born into money like Andy warhol's muse. That woman suffered abuse in the home so who knows about tallulah
What?
If a guy slept with 500 people he’d be labelled a stud or king
I knew nothing of this actress but with her outrageous behavior I figured she was born into privilege.
Yes Grace Kelly was another born into wealth who couldn’t keep her knickers on, seems anything goes if you have money from birth
You dont have to be born rich to be Outrageous,,,,,😒
She was really a Jezebeel
Human beings are said to be a combination of the animal and the divine, and she opted to follow her animal instincts... not always the best decision...
Some of the most immoral, vile, cruel and downright degenerate people I've encountered are those who claimed to 'follow the divine'.
You call it a carefree spirit, I call it Self Loathing!
I read and heard alot about Tallulah over the years. Did I hear you right, Tallulah was on the cover of Ebony magazine?
I take my dog to the church area down the road to play almost everyday. Have been doing that for 4 years and just TODAY discovered her gravesite as a man was putting gifts on her site. What a fascinating life. R.i.p. Tallulah.
