WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Looped tells the story of Tallulah Bankhead, the original celebrity bad girl, being called into a sound studio to "loop" one line of dialogue for what would be her last film. Southern, but by no means a belle, Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying that outshined even today's superstars, including innumerable affairs with male and female celebrities and outlandish exploits that were even investigated by the British secret service. Relish in the promiscuity, scandal and outrageous wit with the sultry-voiced stage and film star who lived them.

Tallulah Bankhead, that grande dame of theater and crassness, has been resurrected in Looped, Matthew Lombardo's sardonic comedy bowing at the Pasadena Playhouse and featuring a tour-de-force turn by Valerie Harper as the legendary actress.
The work is set in 1965, when Bankhead has long descended into the has-been territory of z-grade films such as Die! Die! My Darling!, another in a long line of 1960s rip-offs of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. That film has just finished shooting, and one line had been ruined by Tallulah's drunken antics. While dubbing this line should take just five minutes, the looping session instead lasts eight endless hours as a harried studio representative (Chad [...]
