What's the current population of Demopolis?
Demopolis, Alabama
The Marx and Newhouse families of Demopolis were reputedly the inspiration for The Little Foxes, a Broadway play.  The melodrama was written by Lillian Hellman, whose maternal ancestors were all natives of Demopolis.  It was first performed in 1939, with Alabama-born actress Tallulah Bankhead giving a legendary performance in the lead role of Regina. This hit production ran a year on Broadway.  The 1941 film version was directed by William Wyler and starred Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall and Teresa Wright. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture in 1941.  In 1949 the play was adapted into an opera by Marc Blitzstein, under the title Regina.[51][52][53]
