Origin[]

Tallulah Bankhead has often been described as "outrageous, outspoken, and uninhibited." Truthfully, there really couldn't be any better adjectives, other than, 'Tallulah Bankhead'. Ms. Bankhead was well known for her antics and wild behavior. Both a Broadway and Hollywood actress (as well as performing on the London stage scene), she was exceedingly popular with audiences, and even during slow spots in her career she never faded from public eye.

Despite a very conservative upbringing, she was very liberal and quick to comment on taboo topics. For example, Ms. Bankhead once said off-handedly, "I've tried several varieties of sex. The conventional position makes me claustrophobic. And the others give me either stiff neck or lockjaw." During Ms. Bankhead's successes in London, she bought her Bentley, and loved to drive it. However, she was reputedly bad at directions, and kept getting lost, requiring her to pay cabbies to drive to her destination with her driving behind them.

This artifact is stored in the Disney Vault and inspired the film "One Hundred and One Dalmatians".

Effects[]

This car-turned-artifact was imbued with Ms. Bankhead's vivacious spirit. Sitting in the car makes the user project Tallulah Bankhead's personality, including her wit, liberal attitudes, sexual preferences, and calling people 'Darling', effects that continue after exiting the car and will only stop once the car is neutralized. However, the person also loses their sense of direction while the artifact is in use.
