Tallulah Bankhead’s Ladder Problem

Actress Tallulah Bankhead was infamous for not wearing underwear, and that became a problem during the filming of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1944 film "Lifeboat." Crew members reportedly complained that Bankhead kept flashing them whenever she had to climb a ladder on set. Hitchcock allegedly joked that he did not know whether the issue belonged to the wardrobe department or the hairdressing department.
