Anyone who’s ever said “I’m as pure as the driven slush” can thank Tallulah Bankhead for the turn of phrase. And that’s just one of many…

She wrote two novels, “Windchill Summer” and “Cheap Diamonds.”

She would be nominated for another Oscar, for best actress for 1969’s “The Happy Ending,” before moving largely to television roles in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.

Her movies included “The Birds” and “Rome Adventure.”
