When Elsa Maxwell noted that her leading man in The Dancers did not seem very convincing in his love scenes, Tallulah lowered her sultry lids and purred: "Perhaps not on the stage . . ." When it seemed that a certain man was trying to snub her at London's Savoy, legend has it that she called: "Hello, dahling, I'm sorry you don't recognize me with my clothes on." Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey, the expert on sex statistics, recently tried to get an interview with...
