Few have led such varied lives as Fleur Cowles. A distinguished journalist and editor of one of America's top magazines during the 1950s, "Flair", Fleur Cowles is best known today for the realism of her painting and for her many rich, influential, royal and very famous friends. This memoirs tells of her friendships with, and memoirs of, heads of state, film stars, politicians, presidents, diplomats, writers and journalists, painters and lovers. She tells stories of Sam Goldwyn, Margot Fonteyn, Grace Kelly, the Queen Mother, Cary Grant, Charlie Chaplin and the Shah of Persia. She recalls Queen Frederica of Greece in her red sports car, how she shared Madame Chiang Kai-Shek's summer residence in Taipei with a boa constrictor, and of the magnificent Coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II.| SKU | Unavailable |
