 According to one of Rex Harrison (I) (qv)s biographers, Alexander  Walker, the song "Ive grown accustomed to her face" held special  memories for the actor, as during the original Broadway run he used  to sing the song to his third wife Kay Kendall (qv), who would  stand in the wings watching his performance. Harrison later admitted  that when he sang the song in the film he was thinking all the time  about Kendall, who had died a few years before from leukemia.
