How did she remember all that script? Never an er or um or stumble.
A brilliant observer of life and a thoroughly nice human being. Pity we've lost her.
RIP Joyce.

Hi Quityertalking~! All i know is it about a birthday for the aged dowager. It starts with something like "you'd never know to see me now, but i was once young and fair, with hair as red as the fox, they said" and it ends with something like "And now, the Dowager Duchess said, I am far too old to care, but she was pale as any ghost, when she walked up the stair.."~! :-) Perhaps my dad was wrong and it was not even Joyce Grenfell, i am not sure~!

@bs3bloke ... Oops, sorry my info was wrong there... But what a fantastic woman Joyce was... I have just watched a tribute to Alistair Sim.. and she acted with the marvelous man in the St Trinians films... A total star, regal, funny and very very watchable.... ;0)x

@wenglishsal Grenfell was indeed the niece of Nancy AstOr and Astor was indeed an American heiress; but she was not connected with the Woolworth family.
-
Wonderful, I adore Joyce.
-
What a super talented lady... And she was the niece of Lady Aster... From the Woolworth family... What a brilliant observer of people and she transports you into her world... Fantastic :0)x
