Museums, Studios & Galleries
Tallulah Brockman Bankhead was born in downtown Huntsville on January 31, 1902. After her mother died, when Tallulah was only three weeks old, she and her sister went to Jasper, AL to live with their grandparents, as their father was too distraught to care for them. Tallulah’s rebellious nature appeared early and at the young age of ten she was enrolled in a convent school in New York. Her career began at the age of 17 and took her to Paris, London, New York and Hollywood. She was a serious contender for the part of Scarlett O’Hara for the 1936 movie Gone with the Wind, but lost the role because she was considered too scandalous for the part. Her response was, “They don’t know what scandalous is. If they want scandal then that’s what they will get!”

Through February 26, 2012
Southern Comfort will present selected photographs from the Museum’s collection that underscore the rich history of the South and tell compelling stories about its unique people, places and traditions. Many were added to the collection in the 1980s and early 1990s through a series of original exhibitions curated by local photographic archivist and historian Frances Robb, wife of former Museum director David Robb. Featured artists will include William Christenberry, Kathryn Tucker Windham, Pinky Bass, James Morris, John Reese, and Caroline Davis.
As the nation’s most culturally distinct region, the American South has long been a magnet for artistic exploration and documentation. Many artists have chosen the medium of photography as a vehicle to convey their unique impressions and experiences of the region, because of the camera’s ability to so vividly record reality.

Through February 26, 2012
Southern Comfort will present selected photographs from the Museum’s collection that underscore the rich history of the South and tell compelling stories about its unique people, places and traditions. Many were added to the collection in the 1980s and early 1990s through a series of original exhibitions curated by local photographic archivist and historian Frances Robb, wife of former Museum director David Robb. Featured artists will include William Christenberry, Kathryn Tucker Windham, Pinky Bass, James Morris, John Reese, and Caroline Davis.
As the nation’s most culturally distinct region, the American South has long been a magnet for artistic exploration and documentation. Many artists have chosen the medium of photography as a vehicle to convey their unique impressions and experiences of the region, because of the camera’s ability to so vividly record reality.

Museums, Studios & Galleries
Tallulah Brockman Bankhead was born in downtown Huntsville on January 31, 1902. After her mother died, when Tallulah was only three weeks old, she and her sister went to Jasper, AL to live with their grandparents, as their father was too distraught to care for them. Tallulah’s rebellious nature appeared early and at the young age of ten she was enrolled in a convent school in New York. Her career began at the age of 17 and took her to Paris, London, New York and Hollywood. She was a serious contender for the part of Scarlett O’Hara for the 1936 movie Gone with the Wind, but lost the role because she was considered too scandalous for the part. Her response was, “They don’t know what scandalous is. If they want scandal then that’s what they will get!”
Get to know the ‘darling’ of Huntsville through Tallulah! the Spring mansion exhibit, February 1 – April 15. Although Tallulah never had a major role in a movie, she certainly left her mark on the stage and in Hollywood, and the campier the role the bett…

Many were added to the collection in the 1980s and early 1990s through a series of original exhibitions curated by local photographic archivist and historian Frances Robb, wife of former Museum director David Robb. Featured artists will include William Christenberry, Kathryn Tucker Windham, Pinky Bass, James Morris, John Reese, and Caroline Davis.

Museums, Studios & Galleries
Tallulah Brockman Bankhead was born in downtown Huntsville on January 31, 1902. After her mother died, when Tallulah was only three weeks old, she and her sister went to Jasper, AL to live with their grandparents, as their father was too distraught to care for them. Tallulah’s rebellious nature appeared early and at the young age of ten she was enrolled in a convent school in New York. Her career began at the age of 17 and took her to Paris, London, New York and Hollywood. She was a serious contender for the part of Scarlett O’Hara for the 1936 movie Gone with the Wind, but lost the role because she was considered too scandalous for the part. Her response was, “They don’t know what scandalous is. If they want scandal then that’s what they will get!”

Many were added to the collection in the 1980s and early 1990s through a series of original exhibitions curated by local photographic archivist and historian Frances Robb, wife of former Museum director David Robb. Featured artists will include William Christenberry, Kathryn Tucker Windham, Pinky Bass, James Morris, John Reese, and Caroline Davis.
As the nation’s most culturally distinct region, the American South has long been a magnet for artistic exploration and documentation. Many artists have chosen the medium of photography as a vehicle to convey their unique impressions and experiences of the region, because of the camera’s ability to so vividly record reality.

Performing Arts
It seems like yesterday that brothers, Jake and Elwood Blues, played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, invited the world to join them on a “mission from God.” The hit movie The Blues Brothers was a loveable tale of redemption about the pair of paroled convicts, who set out to save the Catholic orphanage in which they grew up, from the taxation department. As the story goes, they re-formed their rhythm and blues band, the Blues Brothers, and organized a concert to raise $5,000 to pay off the debt and save the day. But things never went according to plan for Jake and Elwood, and their story evolved into a rollicking journey of misadventure, and one of best loved movies of all time.
Now, thirty years later, the Blues Brothers live on in The Official Blues Brothers Revue, starring Wayne Catania as Jake and Kieron Lafferty as Elwood. This Blues Brothers Revue is the only show to be officially sanctioned by Dan Aykroyd and Judith Belushi Pisano, wife of the late John Belushi. The Official Blues Brothers Revue com…
