#4 In 1955 Kendall starred opposite Rex Harrison in the comedy The Constant Husband, and an affair soon followed. Harrison was married to actress Lilli Palmer at the time. However, when he learned from Kendall's doctor that Kendall had been diagnosed with myeloid leukemia, he and Palmer agreed to divorce so he could marry Kendall and provide for her care. Kendall was never told of her illness and ended up believing she merely had an iron deficiency. As for the divorce, Palmer said she was not upset because she had a lover, too. Palmer and Harrison planned to remarry after Kendall's death, but Palmer ended up falling in love with her companion, Carlos Thompson, and married him instead.

The doctor didn't tell her she had a terminal illness??? Seems irresponsible.

#5 Frequently happened that way in those times. Idea was to spare the patient. Seems stupid today but that's how it was.

#6 Seems stupid today but that's how it was.

Wonder which of today's standard medical procedures will seem utterly stupid a few decades from now.

Dr Steve, any guesses?

#7 Anything expensive or anything after you've retired. Unless you are a member of the privileged class, of course. Then you'll have to go to Canada.
