Her girl-next-door looks combined with a sultry singing voice made Alice Faye one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the Golden Age of Cinema.

It’s the gay 90’s and headliner Lillian Russell (Alice Faye) is unstoppable! Called, "The English Ballad Singer" her beauty, charm and unforgettable voice packed playhouses everywhere. Offstage, she was equally amazing with an extravagant lifestyle that included four husbands, a jewel-studded bicycle and a wardrobe filled with furs, jewels, gowns and diamond-decorated corsets. As Russell, Faye breathes life into this glamorous icon singing old standards such as, "After the Ball" and new songs including, "Blue Love Bird." One of Faye’s best dramatic roles; she stars with actors Don Ameche, Henry Fonda and Edward Arnold.
