Tallulah's Role: Judith Held

The play never made to Broadway due to poor reviews and script problems, but played in Chicago, Cincinatti, San Diego, San Francisco and throughout the South. The plot concerned a sex columnist who learns that following her own words is more difficult than she imagined. Most of the cast members, including Tallulah, knew the play was a dud and she even included a stipulation in her contract that she could opt out if the production made it to New York. By the time the play ended in Washington, Tallulah had accepted the role that was to be her greatest ("The Little Foxes").

Tallulah's Comments: "a Hungarian mishap"
