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.
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".
This is Broadway casting director Geoffrey Johnson.

gr8 story !!!!

Please please I want to know who was talking, he's hilarious!!
That's Charles Busch who is known to have a very vivid imagination in his recollections of real life.
nope definitely NOT Charles
Charles was the famous female impersonator but that doesn't sound like Charles.
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.)
I think you've hit the nail on the head.
Who is this name dropper?
Don't you know who Noel Coward is? He WAS sort of a snob but also very talented.
I know who he was, but who was telling this story about being with him and Greta?
Who is telling the story?
He sounds like Paul Lynde.
@@brianrodney5202 , that is very funny... of all things Garbo once wrote Paul Lynde a fan letter ..
Skip E. Lowe is the narrator.
