From IMDB comes more evidence that Hitchcock was one of the 20th Century's true geniuses ... "DURING FILMING (of Lifeboat), several of the crew members noted that actress Tallulah Bankhead was not wearing underwear. When advised of this situation, director Alfred Hitchcock observed, 'I don't know if this is a matter for the costume department, makeup, or hairdressing.'"

I was privileged to once attend a showing (as part of a Hitchcock film festival) of Lifeboat introduced by Tallulah Bankhead in person (obviously this was many years ago). Saucy old broad. She was a great speaker and had many wonderful stories about the filming of the movie and about Hitchcock. Gosh, I wish I could remember any of them. Damn alcohol!

I recently saw Karkar Traore live. He was opening up for Seu Jorge. Great show all around! I haven't heard his album but from his live performance, I would recommend you listen to an album called Lam Tooro by Baaba Maal and Mansour Seck. If you like Karkar you'd like that.

I love Baaba Maal! He had a new album this year that I never got around to listening to. Why do people call Traore "KarKar"? Is that a nickname for Boubecar? Luckily they don't call him Boub-Boub.

Flasshe, I'm sure she said the same thing afterward!

Here's a link to a remarkable article about Tallulah on the "TV Party" website. The page notes that Tallulah was roaring drunk the whole time she was rehearsing her famous appearance on "The Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour," and you won't forget her nickname for Vivian "Ethel Mertz" Vance: http://www.tvparty.com/movtallulah.html
