“It must be tough to be orphaned at 71…Poor Clifton is still, after two months, wailing and sobbing over Mabelle’s death. As she was well over ninety, gaga, and driving him mad for years, this seems excessive and over indulgent.” —Noel Coward on Clifton Webb, who starred in Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” and “Present Laughter” on stage, after the death of Webb’s beloved mother and living companion in 1960.
