  The Naked and the Dead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the book's publishing, Mailer met the writer/poet Dorothy Parker; her first words to him were, "So you're the man who can't spell fuck." [1] Mailer's version of the incident follows:
I thought she [Bankhead] should have hired a publicity man who had a better sense of fair play." (1968 Panel Discussion, CBLT-TV, Toronto, moderated by Robert Fulford) From "Conversations with Norman Mailer", 1988.

Tallulah Bankhead is luminous as the gutsy media correspondent of the day, but the rest of the cast, every last one of them, keeps right up with her and the film remains taut and flawless from the first frame to the last.
Bankhead never wore underwear so the crew would get a thrill every time she walked up the ladder and got in the lifeboat.
Bankhead continued to cause various problems by referring to actor Walter Slezak as a Nazi off camera and belittling screen vet Henry Hull because he kept forgetting his lines or muffling them during takes.

 Vamps: Dark Goddesses of the Silver Screen
The legendary Talullah made her name on the British stage before returning a success to her native America to go into movies.
Born in 1902 to a wealthy and powerful political Alabama family, she quickly turned her back on the social world of Washington for the diligent hard work of the stage, where she became the darling of London for many years.
She was powerfully ambitious where her career was concerned, despite her love of a good time, and was bitterly disappointed to lose the part of Scarlett O'Hara in 'Gone with the Wind' to her friend Vivien Leigh.

 Lifeboat (Special Edition) DVD Review
A less confident, ingenious filmmaker might have opened up John Steinbeck's dialogue-driven character study beyond the battered boat and its cargo of survivors, but Hitchcock instead revels in his predicament to exploit the enforced intimacy between his characters.
Heading the cast and inevitably commanding their and our attention is the cello-voiced Tallulah Bankhead as Connie Porter, a cynical, sophisticated writer whose priorities seem to be hanging onto her mink and keeping her lipstick fresh.
Gradually, the others find Porter and her lifeboat, forming a temporary community that inevitably suggests a careful cross section of archetypes, from wealthy industrialist (Henry Hull) to ship's boiler men (John Hodiak and William Bendix).
