Miss Tallulah Bankhead, you were the quintessential southern belle.
You played all your acting parts on the screen quite well.
With your ethereal beauty and your deep sultry voice,
you were the type of actress so many considered choice.
Although your personal life may have been controversial,
on the screen and the stage, your parts were very colorful.
You became a very famous actress in your day.
We miss you since 1968 when you passed away.
