Edna Ferber, who often wore tailored suits, was also quick on the draw. Once at the Round Table, Noel Coward told her “You look almost like a man”...”So’...Miss Ferber replied...’do you.”
Rare to upend Coward
His last gay “partner” was my then girlfriends Godfather
I knew him fairly well and heard many Noel tales and wittitudes
Anyhow used to walk by the Algonquin a lot since my office was west 47th off fifth
