...such an intimate story, all other characters are subordinate. But one actress has taken a minor part and nearly made off with the show. As Mrs. Chips' bony crony, Sian Phillips (Mrs. O'Toole offscreen) moves like Garbo, hoots like Tallulah, and seems quite the most animated skeleton since Halloween...

Tallulah Bankhead, 65, the iridescent and irrepressible empress of show business, whose gravel-throated cry of "Daaahling!" was part of the language for nearly half a century; of pneumonia; in Manhattan.
