Show Notes
First broadcast on July 15, 1960. Tallulah Bankhead thought she would become an aerialist when she grew up. At 16, after she saw some plays, Bankhead decided to go into acting. Bankhead never received any formal training and yet some experts in the theatre world called her “a natural”. In a surprise revelation, Bankhead said she does not attend the theatre as an audience member. She went on to say she likes to read books, watch television, and she loves her San Francisco Giants.
