Tallulah Bankhead (Outlines (Bath, England).)

Tallulah Bankhead ended her autobiography with, 'I've lived to the hilt. I've soared in the clouds and touched bottom. Much as I like to idle, I know I must carry on or perish. I have a tiger by the tail.' Hang on to that tail, as Bryony Lavery's funny and affectionate Outline takes you for a ride through Bankhead's extraordinary, party-going, dirty-talking, hard-loving life as a glamourous, promiscuous actress from New York, through London in the twenties, the early years of Hollywood and the great years of American radio.
