This pass Sunday was the anniversary of the death of one of our Patron Saints here at the Casa du Borghese, the over the top, colorful, flamboyant and fabulousness of professional drinker and actress Tallulah Bankhead.A true camp icon. Here she is in one of her last screen appearances as the Black Widow in the Batman series, of which I faintly recall. A friend of hers urged her to take the part with the words "you should do it Tallulah, it will be so camp." Tallulah in her booming voice, replied, "Don't talk to me about camp daaaahling, I invented it!"
And you know what? She probably did.
