File Name	Q15151 - Q15152
Item Title	Letter from Marie Owen to her niece, Tallulah Bankhead.
Description	In the letter Owen admonishes her niece for her recent interview with Gladys Hall of Motion Picture magazine, and she comments on the status of Tallulah's career: "Now of course I take it for granted that you were having a lark with the reporter with no thought that she was going to make your words sound like the yapping of a hot canine locked up in the kennel. There should be some restraint put on publications that would publish such damaging stuff about a professional man or woman whose living depends upon their good name. Your following has lost some of its enthusiasm any way on account of the poor stories they have given you to play. This disgusting statement about your private life will lop off a good many more. A heroine must arouse enthusiasm not repulsion. You have been left no more privacy than a crossroads sign board." Owen advises her niece not to give future interviews unless her producers are able to approve the text before publication, and she also suggests that Tallulah take legal action: "If you got damages from the London paper for reporting that a woman slapped you, your lawyer ought to put the 'Motion Picture' magazine up against the wall and blast it to pieces with a machine gun."
