Reply #2: An anecdote about her from Marlon Brando: [View All]

...taken from memory, but it goes something like this-

Early in her career, Tallulah was among many other young women trying to make it on the Broadway stage. One producer was known to have the ability to secure good roles for girls..as long as they 'paid the price' on the casting couch. If 'paying the price' wasn't degrading enough, this producer was extremely ugly, making 'payment' especially difficult for those who were determined enough to go through with it.

Soon enough, Tallulah got a good role, and her friends asked her how she managed to do it. "I went to Mr. XXX's office and 'paid the price'..in fact, I went down on him." However could you do such a thing??- he's soooo incredibly ugly...the other girls wanted to know.

"Dahlings- anything to get away from that face."

Maybe its not true- but it sure is a good story.
