Tallulah Bankhead
A Republican. A Republican. That's worse than being a goddamned Communist!
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, 'I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.'
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have been tight as a tick! Fried as a mink! Stiff as a goat!
Tallulah Bankhead
