"Just Like the Ivy.......

.........on the Old Garden Wall!"

(Spot the Berries! )

This was the title of a very old Music Hall song sung by Marie Kendall - (I thought the title went well with the picture and is another bit of useless trivia I keep coming up with!!!).

Marie Kendall was born on July 27, 1873 in Hackney, London, England as Mary Ann Florence Holyome. She was an actress, known for Music-Hall Cavalcade: Stars of Yesterday and Today (1937), Say It with Flowers (1934) and Happy Days Are Here Again (1936). She was married to Steve McCarthy. She died on May 5, 1964 in Clapham, London.

Her Grand-daughter was the well known actress, Kay Kendall .

Kay Kendall began a romantic relationship with actor Rex Harrison after they appeared together in the comedy film The Constant Husband (1955), and they were married in 1957. Harrison learned from Kendall's doctor that she had been diagnosed with myeloid leukaemia, a fact that was kept from Kendall, who believed she was suffering from an iron deficiency. The actor cared for Kendall until her death at the early age of 32.
