Alice Faye, she made her first major film break in 1934, when Lilian Harvey left the lead role in a film, Scandals(1935). Hired first to perform a musical number, Faye ended up as the female lead. And she became popular with film audiences of the 1930s. He changed Faye from a wisecracking show girl to a motherly figure as she performed in a few Shirley Temple films.
Cast in mostly musicals, Faye introduced many popular songs to the hit parade. Considered less as an actress and more as a singer. Best known for her performance in 1937's In Old Chicago. She more than held her own with co-stars: Vallee, Al Jolson, Charlotte Greenwood, and Edward Everett Horton, Don Ameche, Tyrone Power, and John Payne.
