NOEL COWARD – “I believe that life is for living, don’t you? . . . It’s difficult to know what else one could do with it!”.
Of COWARD – “There are probably greater painters than Noël, greater novelists than Noël, greater librettists, greater composers of music, greater singers, greater dancers, greater comedians, greater tragedians, greater stage producers, greater film directors, greater cabaret artists, greater TV stars. If there are, they are fourteen different people. Only one man combined all fourteen different labels – The Master.” : Lord Louis Mountbatten
COLE PORTER – When Frank Sinatra first met Cole Porter, he said “Mr. Porter, I greatly admire your talent and your songs ” to which Porter replied, “Well then, why don’t you sing them as I wrote them?”
of COLE – “In a way no other songs of the period quite did, Porter’s created a world. It was a between–the–wars realm of drop–dead chic and careless name–dropping insouciance. And it was a sexy place to be invited.”: Walter Clemons, in Vanity Fair.
