	'I Want to Try Everything Once' / Tallulah Bankhead's bisexual braggadocio stands up to scrutiny
		This ribald quote, typical of Tallulah Bankhead, the flamboyant Alabama-born actress and personality who entertained and scandalized the public until her death in 1968, is so graphic it leaves nothing to the imagination.
		Bankhead boasted of having slept with more than 5,000 people, and the publicity materials for "Tallulah" tauntingly present a long list of names of those with whom she was said to have been "romantically linked." These include megastars such as Garbo and Joan Crawford as well as supporting actresses Patsy Kelly and Hattie McDaniel.
		Bankhead lived in an age when prominent actresses were careful to never refer in print to their female conquests, burned tell-tale letters and under pressure from the studios, baited fan magazines with "male" escorts, leaving virtually no public record.

		Tallulah was a phenomenon, something of a Roaring 20's Spice Girl, with an enormous cult following of mostly young girls who tried to see every single crummy play she was in between 1923 & 1930, all of them yearning to be exactly like her.
