Tallulah Bankhead in the deeply effed-up film The Cheat.
Because this moment, played with zero irony whatsoever, never, ever, EVER gets old.

Now I want to see this movie. Also, this is the silliest hat I’ve ever seen in my life.
Look out, she’s about to BLOW!!
Jincy – you have to see it. She is literally branded on the chest by a psychopath. It’s insane!
Sheila I have to see this! I only know this picture and would just scream laughing at it, thinking, what is on her head?! Looking for a tiara for Two Character I thought, Geeze, I,ll take that one! Imagine doing the phone scene with that on your head?! This film sounds great though!
The best part is that she plays the scene dead serious. No sense of how ridiculous she looks. I think I need to have this image on my wall somewhere. It honestly makes me happy every single time I look at it.
Amazing! Yes this next to Elvis dressed as a Sheik, and be ready to face the world!
