Love how Tallulah seems game for all the zany humor. Sad that one year later (in Dec. of '68) she passed away at the age of 66. Thanks SO much for sharing this bodacious "blast from the past" for us to enjoy !
I read when she showed up for the " I love lucy " in the later 50s , she showed up late and had been drinking and lucy was very upset but turned out she did her part perfectly and it was a huge success
Reportedly, in her last days, Tallu practically fell into a NYC taxi wrapped in Sable. Giving the driver her destination, he glared into his mirror, exclaiming, YOU'RE Tallulah Bankhead! Taking a puff on her cigarette 🚬, she Regally responded, Frankly My DAHLING, I'm what's LEFT of Tallulah Bankhead!
HELLO MY DAHLINGS! WELL! The Brothers simply Can't Smother my Imperious delivery! Yes, my DAHLINGS, When I walk, I'm a Duchess. When I talk , I sound like a Duke . Haaaaaaaa!
Question for the RUclips account holder who uploaded this a month ago : Does RUclips have any other portion(s) of this particular Smothers episode? If so, what is / are the title(s)? Thank you for uploading what you have uploaded. Thank you for reading my post.
Her estate would be about $20 million today. Her family was one of the wealthiest in Alabama. Father was speaker of the House and grandfather and uncle were senators.

I've never seen Tallulah in colour before she's wonderful here
You never saw her on Batman?

Thanks for posting … this is Miss Bankheads last surviving performance on film. Her early 1968 appearance on the tonight show has been lost
You're welcome! I wish we could see her Tonight show appearance 😔
How do we know it's lost and who lost it
maybe it will be found, just as presumably lost Judy Garland apperance on Tonight Show - which was found
When Tallulah breaks character, I lost it 😂

Hi, I have not seen any clips from this episode on YT. I could upload the full episode if you like 🙂
@@royal_glamour The entire episode would be awesome, thanks. Viewers would enjoy the combination of Tallulah, the Temptations and Cass Elliot.
@Kelloggs I'll post it as soon as I can. The Temptations are excellent!

I've heard they played on Tallulah being more masculine. So this skit isn't unusual for her to play a male/masculine part.
Lotta gender bending here!
Poor Tallulah. She only barely scraped together a living in her later years by doing dreck like this. She must have loathed it.
That's wrong. When she died a year later, she left an estate of around two million dollars.
She had planty of money. Read the bio by Lee Israel !
What’s wrong with comedy????? Not everything can be Shakespeare you know.

Tallulah had a wicked sense of humor. I've no doubt she has fun here.
