		Lillian remarks that they have something in common: problems with love -- "love is so elusive at times." She mentions that Alex seems to have punctuated her life at very crucial moments and Alex responds that maybe it wasn't coincidence.

		Andrea King was pleased and proud to portray Lillian Russell, the legendary early-1900s Broadway star with the "hour glass figure," in the Warner Bros. 1947 Technicolor musical "My Wild Irish Rose." Aside from the singing and dancing in the picture, and working opposite Dennis Morgan again, Andrea adored the costumes and jewelry she wore.
		As part of a publicity agreement with Van Cleef and Arpel's, the priceless gems were on loan during her weeks in front of the camera, and understandably there were two armed guards present at all times on the sets.
		To achieve Lillian Russell's much-ballyhooed "hourglass figure," Andrea's costumes had to be padded, primarily below the waistline, to fill her out in all the appropriate places.
