Lit.: anonym: Orson Welles Tallulah Bankhead „Twelfth Night“ Shakespeare Estelle Winwood Cleaned. In YouTube, 21. 8. 2012 (článek + nahrávka k poslechu) – Cit.: A one-time only pairing of Orson Welles and Tallulah Bankhead in Shakespeare’s „Twelfth Night“ in 1937 on the „CBS Radio Playhouse“, cut down to an hour for the radio. Now Tallulah would have been a wonderful Olivia, a lady of some experience of life who is a bit over-much, but as she was the star she played the star role of Viola, a young bewildered innocent who disguised herself as a boy for protection. Orson, who later played Malvolio very well a year later with his Mercury Theater Company (issued on a huge 78 set), plays Orsino (it was fated) here and quite well. Estelle Winwood, who often appeared with Tallulah, is ripe for the material, and cast in an appropriate role to boot. Choice is the scene where Tallulah sings „Come Away Death“ as the boy and Orson’s reaction is a bit muted. Cleaned and restored by Tormented Artist Ink Studios. Though Shakespeare was not her forte, Tallulah remains a one-off talent.

Takhle se přezdívalo hollywoodské herečce Tallulah Bankhead. Budiž řečeno, že to byla pravda. Její život se dá označit jako „jeden obrovský průšvih“. (…)
