Justine Kay Kendall McCarthy (✦May 21, 1927 – †September 6, 1959) was an English actress and singer. She began her film career in the musical London Town (1946), which was a financial failure. Kendall worked regularly until her performance in the comedy Genevieve (1953) brought her widespread recognition. Prolific in British films, Kendall also gained popularity with American audiences and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her role in the musical-comedy Les Girls (1957).
She started a romantic relationship with actor Rex Harrison after they appeared together in the comedy The Constant Husband (1955), and they married in 1957. Harrison learned from Kendall's doctor that she had been diagnosed with myeloid leukemia, a fact that was kept from Kendall, who believed she was suffering from an iron deficiency. The actor cared for Kendall until her death in 1959 at the age of 32.
