'A gold mine of gossip with a cast of thousands' GUARDIAN
The unexpurgated diaries of one of the greatest, most talented, and wittily flamboyant characters of the 20th century - with a new introduction by Stephen Fry
'Compulsive reading' SUNDAY TIMES
'19th February 1956. A A Milne has died. Lord Beaverbrook has not ... Larry is going to make a movie of The Sleeping Prince with Marilyn Monroe, which might conceivably drive him round the bend'
'28th February 1960 Princess Margaret has announced her engagement to Tony Armstrong-Jones ... He looks quite pretty, but whether or not the marriage is entirely suitable remains to be seen.'
Noel Coward was a renowned actor, dramatist, director - and star. His incredible zest, versatility and unrivalled wit are revealed in these diaries, with a cast of characters ranging from The Beatles to the Queen, Churchill to Marilyn Monroe.
Touching, funny and revealing, THE NOEL COWARD DIARIES is a superb account of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
Noel Coward was a world renowned playwright, actor, director and entertainer. During the war he ran the British Propaganda Office in Paris, and also worked with the Secret Service. Coward won an Academy Honorary Award in 1943 for his film In Which We Serve and was knighted in 1969.
Graham Payn, who appeared in many of Noel Coward's plays, was his life-long partner and friend. Sheridan Morley was a drama and theatre critic and author of over dozen theatre and film books.
