Sir Noel Coward & Gladys Cooper Signed Album Page – COA JSA

This item originates from the Roy Moseley collection. Moseley was one of the leaders in show business journalism in England. He wrote many books that appeared on the New York Time’s Best Seller List. Being an author in high regard had its perks, as he was closely connected to royalty and celebrities. Hence his notable work, “My Stars and Other Friends” provides a glimpse into the lifestyle us everyday people dream about. During his career, Moseley brilliantly gathered in person some of the finest autographs in the world. Some were personalized to him as a testament to their respect and kinship. Every celebrity has a story as well as every autograph Moseley obtained. Here now is one of those legacy pieces for your collection.

Presented is an autograph from one of the pages in Moseley’s many albums. This one (4.5 x 6.25 ) splendidly features signatures on both sides. One side features an autograph of Sir Noel Coward. He signed his side in blue pen (“9”). Coward was an English playwright, composer, director, actor and singer, known for his wit, flamboyance, and what Time magazine called “a sense of personal style, a combination of cheek and chic, pose and poise.”

The side with the JSA sticker features actress Gladys Cooper and was signed in blue ballpoint (“9”) by her with a personalization, “Roy”. In the 1930s, she was starring steadily both in the “West End theatre and on Broadway theatre. Moving to Hollywood in 1940, Cooper found success in a variety of character roles; she was nominated for three Academy Awards, the last one as Mrs. Higgins in “My Fair Lady” (1964). Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, she mixed her stage and film careers, continuing to star on stage until her last year.
