And here is your hostess, the glamorous, unpredictable Toulula Bankhead. Well, darlings, I made it. Didn't think I would, you know. This was Varys X Week. Not too severe, case.

My temperature was perfect in arm, well 110. Those ghastly medicines they gave me were not so much the medicine. The water, they made me swallow with it. And wonder drugs, the wonder I'd drug myself out of bed this morning.

Well, this virus thing leaves you so weakened. When the doctor turned on that little spotlight to look into my throat, I was so weak I could hardly take a bow. But I thought I had played the whole scene rather well.

Some of my friends in the theatre who came to visit me, applauded spontaneously when I had a coughing spasm. But who would you know that one of my very best actress friends tried to steal the scene from me?

What a conniving thing to do. In the middle of one of my most dramatic costs, she has a baby. Well, thank you, I had this brightest eye too. Friends come with little gifts for you.
