🎉 WELCOME TO DAY 13 OF 40 FOR 40! 🎉

As we continue our 40 for 40 celebration, highlighting standout stories from our archives in honor of Alabama Heritage’s 40th anniversary, we turn to one of Alabama’s most colorful and unforgettable personalities.

For Day 13, we revisit Issue 10, Fall 1988, and the story of Tallulah Bankhead, the larger-than-life actress whose wit, charisma, and flair for the dramatic made her a legend on both stage and screen. Known for her sharp tongue, trademark drawl, and endless supply of memorable stories, Tallulah captivated audiences wherever she went.

But beyond the famous anecdotes and larger-than-life reputation was a fascinating woman whose life reflected both extraordinary success and personal complexity. From her Alabama roots to her rise as one of the most recognizable entertainers of her era, Tallulah carved out a unique place in American cultural history.

This feature offers a closer look at the woman behind the legend, exploring why Tallulah Bankhead remains one of Alabama’s most memorable and enduring icons.

Learn more about George Lindsey at the Jasper Welcome Center & Museum in Downtown Jasper.

From Jasper, Alabama, came a man who brought a smile to millions, the beloved actor and comedian George Lindsey. Best remembered as the gentle, grinning gas station fellow on a favorite small-town television show, and later as a longtime star of the country music and comedy stage, he became one of America's most cherished funnymen. But no matter how famous he grew, George Lindsey never forgot where he came from. He remained a proud son of Alabama all his life, returning often to his home state and giving generously to help others, especially children in need. For years he hosted a charity event in Montgomery that raised a great deal of money for a good cause. He had a gift for making folks laugh, but it was his kind heart that people remembered most. His humor was gentle and warm, never mean, the kind that made you feel good all over. That floppy cap and that easy grin became old friends to families who welcomed him into their living rooms week after week. Alabama has given the world many bright stars, and George Lindsey shone with a special down-home glow. He reminded us that you can go far in this world and still stay true to your roots. A good laugh and a good heart are a legacy worth leaving.

Put this one on your Jasper list! 📍❤️

Tucked alongside Town Creek is a piece of Jasper history dating all the way back to 1939. This beautiful WPA-era bridge was built using stone pulled directly from the creek flowing beneath it, and thanks to the generosity of All Sides Pressure Washing, you can now see that original stonework looking better than ever!

They recently cleaned the historic bridge, donating the entire project to the community, and the before-and-after is pretty amazing. 👏

You’ll find it at Town Creek Park, next to Maddox Intermediate School, where you can also enjoy the playground, picnic spots and fitness pocket park.

And while you’re here, keep exploring! From our parks and historic places to shopping, dining and Historic Downtown Jasper, there’s plenty more to discover.

Come see what Jasper’s all about! ❤️
