Kay Kendall was beautiful, curvaceous, smart and funny. An actress whose ability far outstripped the opportunities she was given, her only major hit was the 1953 British comedy Genevieve.
Her lasting fame seems to have relied upon two facts - one that she married Oscar-winning actor Rex Harrison and two that she died of leukaemia in her early thirties.
We remember her here for being gifted, stylish and beautiful.
