“Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.” Tallulah Bankhead

I am Rita Langworthy’s daughter. No prouder words could I speak or write. We were reflections of one another from over four decades of mutual growth and respect. Yet there has never been an easy way for either of us to explain the other’s life. Therefore, it is best for me to allow my mum to speak for herself. I don’t wish to interpret her words for you. Each one of you will take something different from her writings.

I will leave you with only this. We were blessed to have had her with us on this earth for 70 years, and now it is our turn to take up her mantle and continue what she began.
