Lady Diana Cooper: “The Most Beloved Woman in England” -D.W. Griffith, Filmmaker
Art historian Lacy Davisson will present a series of three lectures on the subject of Lady Diana Cooper (1892-1986) and her circle of English aristocrats and intellectuals including: The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Cecil Beaton, Winston Churchill, D.H. Lawrence, Sergei Diaghilev, Evelyn Waugh, Virginia Woolf, Nancy Mitford, and D.W. Griffith.
The era from World War I through The Jazz Age and just beyond World War II in England and France was a time of explosive creativity in the arts, world political upheaval, and enormous technological advances that changed everyday life. Lady Diana Manners Cooper, the British aristocrat, stage and film actress, designer, author, volunteer nurse and famously glamorous social figure was at the center of it all.
Lady Diana was the most celebrated and beautiful woman of her day. She was married to a commoner, Duff Cooper, who rose to become British Ambassador to France, First Lord of the Admiralty, Secretary of State for War, and Minister of Information. Winston Churchill described her as a woman with “a face to launch a thousand ships” at a time “when all the world is changing at once.”
