She was one of the nicest and lovliest ladies I've ever known. Alice, I still miss you.

She was a "real" star even though she really didn't think of herself that way. Class act!

What a lovely person. So nice to know that she was having such a happy time making those wonderful movies. Thank you for this wonderful interview.

I wonder if Alice Faye ever performed for the Coast Guard in White City, Michigan. I heard that she toured the sandstone quarries in Jacobsville...

Met her, sang for her, kept in touch with her for a time! Loved her so very much and miss her to this day. An angel of a lady! ❤️😔💓💓💓💓

She was still very sharp-minded and entertaining even as she approached her 80s. A true legend!

What a beauty Alice Faye was, and she had the softest most beautiful voice. Her rendition of "You'll Never Know" is the best. Her movies were so entertaining. I miss her.

SHE WAS WONDERFUL

My grandma would tell me that Alice Faye was her all time favorite when she was a teenager in the 1930s. So she has a special place in my heart too!

Beautiful lady inside and out. Have loved her since watching her movies on TV since the 60's. ❤️❤️❤️

I remember this, it was on AMC. She was my dad's favorite.

I often ran into Alice with Phil Harris the last few years before he died in the 90’s. They had lunch often at Rancho Las Palmas CC in Rancho Mirage, with cocktails flowing liberally. She was a lovely lady.

One of the loveliest stars and truly a wonderful person!

Great, underappreciated interviewer.

Wonderful lady with her feet on the ground, on a level above.

Alice Faye True Hollywood Royalty

woderful thank you. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Well Darryl found out the hard way not to treat people badly, when he was ill towards the end of his life his family didn't treat him very well.

She *did* go back to 20th Century Fox; something she avoided mentioning here. She costarred in 1962's "State Fair" as Pat Boone's mother and the wife of Tom Ewell, a move she came to regret. Lovely woman, though, and looking real and attractive for her age.

Faye had wanted Don Ameche to play her husband but Tom Ewell got the job.

Alice Faye was lured out of retirement for the picture State Fair (1962) with the promise that she would be working with Don Ameche (as her husband) and Henry King as director. Instead, Tom Ewell ended up playing her husband and Jose Ferrer directed. The movie was in production in October 1961 and released in 1962. Fox studio was the studio which produced the movie. However, Darryl Zanuck hadn’t returned as Fox Studio head until after this movie was produced. Strictly my guess only, I suspect Alice Faye would have declined to return to Fox Studios if Zanuck have been studio head at the time.

VERY INTRESTING INTERVIEW

11:25 Alice says, "I couldn't tell you. That goes with me." As to why she walked out on her contract it was apparently regarding 1945's Fallen Angel and the buildup Linda Darnell was receiving instead of her. It's entirely possible she didn't want to mention that particular detail because of how she would be perceived (perhaps negatively; the perception that she was jealous of another actress).

She was never jealous of anyone. Several of her scenes were cut.

I remember seeing this when it first came on. From what I've read about the "Fallen Angel" incident, Faye wasn't upset with Linda Darnell. Alice never blamed Darnell, but she was annoyed with the studio chief Darryl Zanack who always viewed the movies in production and decided what was to be edited out. So she walked away from her contract, and went on the radio with her second husband, Phil Harris.

@@lscarver5 Despite being twenty-one years old when "Fallen Angel" was filmed Linda Darnell wasn't exactly a newcomer, having signed with Twentieth Century-Fox at age fifteen (though her studio bio added two years) and almost immediately being cast opposite Fox's resident matinee idol Tyrone Power in three films. Zanuck's attempts to woo Alice back to the movies became a running gag on her radio show, and given "I Love Lucy's" success I'm sure there were no shortage of offers for Alice and Phil to bring their successful movie star wife-bandleader husband sitcom to TV. She was at a point in her life where she couldn't reconcile the demands of being a full-time movie star with being a full-time mother, and she was in a position to choose the latter. Good for her.

When really it’s not about jealousy, it’s about how women were pitted against each other for entertainment, which is sickening.

Lovely lady with a lovely singing voice - many of the other singing stars 9sopranos) had voices that grated on the ears and entirely ruined the musical composition

More singer than actress. Never reached the stardom of her contemporaries (Davis, Rogers, Crawford, Hepburn, etc

nonsense ... during the years she was working, she was just as big a box office draw ... Davis, Rogers, Crawford and Hepburn all worked until they were 115 and produced larger bodies of work, but she was a huge star in her time

@@Garsons-oq4lh I think by 1945, Alice Faye had grown tired of the Hollywood grind, and when she saw that Linda Darnell was being made the center of attention in "Fallen Angel" (which was supposed to be Faye's comeback film), she had no problem walking out on the studio and never looking back. I don't think she ever regretted her decision.

​@Pius Twelvetrees Thank you. But I wonder why though she says at 11:25, "I couldn't tell you. That goes with me." I wonder if she was worried of being perceived negatively.
