	Joyce Grenfell (1910-1979)
		Joyce Grenfell was born Joyce Phipps in Montpelier Square, London, on February 10, 1910.
		Joyce felt that prior to this time the characters she portrayed were mainly ninnies, but she finally got up her courage to write a piece that wasn't meant to be funny and was gratified by the reception to THREE BROTHERS.
		Joyce played another gawky enthusiastic woman, this time who shouts "lovely ducks" to entice attendees at a theatrical garden party to shoot at moving duck shaped targets in order to win a doll; her short scene is with Alastair Sim.

		Mark thinks that “Joyce” is actually the British actress Maureen Lipman in character as the eccentric British stage comedienne Joyce Grenfell.
		The most salient thing about Joyce’s being a cult figure is that she’s been repeatedly identified as “Joyce Drake.” Which leads to the most likely explanation of who this lady is. One of the many blogs and sites to examine the Joyce phenomenon is devoted to a polka band called the Polkaholics.
		On their site, one reader wrote in to comment, “Joyce Drake was the pastor’s wife at First Assembly of God in Sealy, Texas, when I was a little girl in the 1970s.
