Coral Browne
by Rose Collis (9781840027648)

A larger-than-life character who towered over the London stage for half a century, Coral Browne was remarkable for her mesmerising character performances, her glamour, her liberated attitude to sex and the quickness of her often-savage wit. Arriving from awful Australia as a 21-year old she quickly became the talk of wartime Londonperforming as bombs rained around her. Prodigiously talented and highly unconventional for the age she lived in, she forged a reputation as a brilliant comic and classical actress, though she would later perform in the premiere of Joe Ortons What the Butler Saw in her underwear, alongside Ralph Richardson.
