Greta Garbo and Noel Coward: Meeting in 1964

[@tomstanford7997]

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.

[@ericmalone3213]

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

A little more info on the story and the narrator?

[@MissPerriwinkle]

gr8 story !!!!

[@iiiiiccccc]

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".

[@gretagarbeige]

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

[@DrewWasMe]

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

[@hansthefirst]

nope definitely NOT Charles

[@stmichl9433]

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

[@reddragonready]

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

[@randysills4418]

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

[@reddragonready]

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

[@blondthought5175]

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

[@nigelleach8734]

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

[@robertrussellbennett]

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

[@nathaninlondon]

Who is this name dropper?

[@dubbelhenke854]

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

[@NoelHopkins]

I know who he was, but who was telling this story about being with him and Greta?

[@bartolemeo]

Who is telling the story?

[@brianrodney5202]

He sounds like Paul Lynde.

[@donaldwarren463]

@@brianrodney5202 , that is very funny... of all things Garbo once wrote Paul Lynde a fan letter ..

[@rebal1681]

Skip E. Lowe is the narrator.
