Tallulah as Gladys Sinclair

At 15, Tallulah Bankhead won a movie-magazine beauty contest and 
persuaded her family to let her move to New York. Her father, William
Bankhead, used his influence and connections to help secure Tallulah’s 
first stage role, a nonspeaking, one scene walk-on part in the comedy
The Squab Farm. It only played the Bijou theater for three weeks.

Tallulah’s comments on the play from her autobiography: "A mute
child in a flop. That was my beginning."

(AP) – David Brenner, the gangly, toothy-grinned "Tonight Show" favorite
whose brand of observational comedy became a staple for other standup
comedians, including Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser, died Saturday.

Brenner, who had been fighting cancer, died peacefully at his home in New
York City with his family at his side, according to Jeff Abraham, his friend
and publicist.
