    Syd had a very intense romance with Kay Kendall, after they filmed the abominable movie “Abdullah the Great.” Long after Kay had left Syd for Rex Harrison, he stayed friends with both of them, and when Kay was undergoing leukemia treatments in Switzerland, Syd took Rex out golfing to get his mind off things.
