This is Broadway casting director Geoffrey Johnson.

I'm not completely sure, but the narrator of this story MIGHT be actor-dancer-choreographer Grover Dale - who had a featured role in Coward's '61 musical SAIL AWAY and was part of his circle of friends at the time.

This is casting director Geoffrey Johnson, who was also Noel Coward's American representative.

gr8 story !!!!

A little more info on the story and the narrator?

That's Charles Busch who is known to have a very vivid imagination in his recollections of real life.

Charles was the famous female impersonator but that doesn't sound like Charles.

Noel was Marlene's best friend. Brian Aherme was an ex-lover of Marlene. Other lovers they both had: John Gilbert and Mercedes de Acosta.. lives that were super intertwined socially. Yet "we never met".

Please please I want to know who was talking, he's hilarious!!

I think it might be Graham Payn talking. Noel Coward's partner.

reddragonready No, this is not Graham talking, because if you listen carefully, he says "where Noel and Graham are buried"...

Must have missed that..then I have no idea who the "name dropper" is. Do you know?

It's sort of sad that she had such an aversion to discussing her film career.

I think this may be Geoffrey Johnson, an American friend of Coward's. (And Graham Payne was English.)

Don't you know who Noel Coward is? He WAS sort of a snob but also very talented.
