Valerie Harper is on the phone, and she can't stop talking about Tallulah. The 68-year-old actress is known for her portrayals of strong-willed women.

Buck and former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. There isn't a wimp in the bunch. At the moment, Harper is borderline obsessed with the daunting task of bringing to life Tallulah Bankhead, the actress and party girl of the 1920s and 1930s who was known as much for her bon mots and bad behavior as for her beauty.
