She was a reluctant icon though and in her final television interview before she passed away
Jessie remarked, "I never wanted any of this..."

Jessie Mattews was the epitome of feminine beauty whose talent shone from her in everything she did. I was in love with her then and I still am. There will never be another Jessie Matthews. A true star if ever there was one.

In which interview did she make that comment, Jim? I'm intrigued. Big fan of Jessie here.

Correction. It was a BBC radio interview with Godfrey Winn...

When she agreed to record this song the words had to be amended to remove some of the cheekier words as Miss Matthews was unmarried at the time and the BBC audiences may have been shocked !!! Lovely posting. Also, because she ran off with Sonny Hale (married to Evelyn Laye) she was not introduced to the Queen Mother to avoid the Royal family being embarrised. Given Princess Margret's later behaviour I find this particularly ironic. Thanks for posting

Thanks for this observation...
Jessie was, is, and always will be a magical lady.
