At 70, He's Sir Noel
LARCHMONT NY notes Sir Noel Coward turning 70 and a New Year honor, with reflection on his public figure status. The Broadway revival of Private Lives, starring Tammy Grimes, highlights Coward's enduring influence as writer, actor, and director while Milton Bass remarks on a hunger for solid classics. Brian Bedford shines as Elyot. Regarded as a witty icon, Coward’s work remains timely and celebrated.
