"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

She was the last remaining link to Hollywood's Golden Age of the 30's and 40's.

She was so beautiful and had such an angelic face how could you not be in love with her. Of all the beauties in the glamour years of Hollywood she was my favorite. Greer Garson a close second.

But that’s the way to go, 104, natural causes, own bed, at home, and in Paris. I bet she had that beautiful face till the end.
In GWTW, I always liked how she read the first sentence of David Copperfield, “I am bone.” That’s when the ladies are fretting about the husbands being at a meeting and suddenly the KKK comes to the house so they pretend they are having a sewing bee while Melanie reads to them.
