A Star Danced
The stage star's own account of a career that ran from London music halls to Broadway.
Gertrude Lawrence was one of the great stage performers of the interwar years, a star of London revue and Broadway musical comedy who originated roles written for her by Noel Coward and later played Anna in The King and I. This 1945 memoir is her own account of that ascent, from a childhood on the fringes of the English music hall to the first nights and the after-parties, told in the brisk theatrical voice of someone who knew exactly how to hold a room.

How fun, how exciting, and glamorous her life seemed to be, especially during the after-parties with Noel Coward and Beatrice Lillie.
