“Just for the next few minutes I want you to forget you ever saw me in any movie and that I ever was Bob Hope's favourite blonde, although there's nothing wrong with that, I may say. But now, will you allow me to be very simply the woman who, with millions of others, was involved in that rather disconcerting business of war that went on in Europe between 1939 and 1945, and who stayed on to work with the unhappy child victims of the war.”
