Westgrand, I just loved Kay Kendall. She was hysterical in "The Reluctant Debutante."
Tragic end [leukemia].
You might already know, Moe, but Kay Kendall was never told of her illness.
Golden Globe Best Actress award for 'Les Girls', 1957, but seems to be most remembered for 'Genevieve', 1953.
Kay was both beautiful and funny...in a world where most people, female or male, are not both...:)
