Appearing Bankhead Knew Tallulah Wanted 1926
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Tallulah Bankhead, the legendary American actress, during her run in the play "They Knew What They Wanted" at the St. Martin's Theatre in London in 1926. Bankhead, known for her sultry voice, vivacious personality, and magnetic stage presence, was at the height of her fame in the Jazz Age of the 1920s. The image shows Bankhead in character, her expressive face framed by a halo of curls, her piercing eyes fixed on an unseen audience. Her age is difficult to determine from this photograph, but her timeless beauty and allure are undeniable. The setting of the St. Martin's Theatre in London adds to the glamour and sophistication of the scene. "They Knew What They Wanted" was a successful Broadway play that opened in 1926 and later transferred to London. Bankhead's performance as the manipulative and seductive Lisa Carnes was widely acclaimed, and she received glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike. Her portrayal of the character was described as "mesmerizing" and "unforgettable." This photograph is a testament to Bankhead's enduring appeal and her status as a true star of the stage during the 1920s. It captures a moment in time when Bankhead was at the pinnacle of her career, and her charisma and magnetism shine through the image, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage Hollywood memorabilia or 1920s-era ephemera.
