Happy Birthday, Talullah Bankhead
That very well may be my favorite image in Image History. It’s from a scene in the extremely disturbing (even by modern standards) 1931 film The Cheat. Her character takes an upsetting phone-call during a costume party, where she un-ironically … Continue reading

Next in my Daily Book Excerpt: Next on the script shelf: Next Tennessee Williams play on the shelf is The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore. Produced in 1963 – this haunting play shows the direction Tennessee Williams began to … Continue reading
