Thread Name: BS: Have you changed your religious views?
Subject: RE: BS: Have you changed your religious views?
Just heard this from a friend:
Tallulah Bankhead was a very dear friend of Cardinal Frances Spellman of New York. She went to mass frequently at St. Patrick's Cathedral even though she was not Catholic.

This day,during a high mass, the Cardinal was walking down the aisle dressed in a long fancy habit and was sending incense into the air. As he neared Miss Bankhead-he nodded to her. She was heard to say:
"Franny, I love your gown, but the perfume has got to go."

Apocryphal? Perhaps-but knowing Tallulah-Perhaps not.
