Private Lives, the story of two bickering ex-spouses who fall in love all over again even though they're on honeymoon with a new husband and a new wife in tow, has been an audience favorite since its premiere in London, where Coward and soulmate Gertrude Lawrence (above, 1930) played the leads and a young Laurence Olivier played the priggish supporting role of Victor.Tallulah Bankhead, Maggie Smith, Joan Collins, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton went on to star in the show, which has had six Broadway revivals.
