I remember thinking that he was one of those lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right.

1.What does 'one of those lucky few' mean?
2.In this example, is 'few' a noun or an adjective?

Thanks.

It means one of a select minority (of people) who are always lucky. few is a noun in this instance.
