Bankhead, Tallulah. (1902–1968).
A fine original portrait of the American actress, a black pencil drawing by the Hungarian-Canadian artist Janos Buda, accomplished (according to note on verso, also with affixed program clipping) at her 27 March, 1963 performance of "Here Today" at the Toronto Royal Alexandra Theatre. Signed in blue ink "Tallulah Bankead" and by the artist, "Buda". In fine condition, with crease along lower edge and mounted clipping to verso. 8 x 11 inches (21 x 28 cm).
Tallulah Bankhead was born to the Brockman Bankheads, a prominent family in Alabama politics. Her grandfather and uncle were U.S. Senators and her father served 11 terms in the House, including a final term as Speaker of the House. Bankhead often stood in public opposition to her family's politics, taking progressive stances on such issues as the civil rights movement. Throughout her career in film and television, she was known to be a prodigious smoker and drinker, and she openly had relationships with both men and women.
