MINI BIO:
With a warm smile and warm voice to match, Alice Faye started out as a singer with Rudy Vallee's band. She became a much-in-demand actress for sympathetic roles in the musicals of the thirties and early forties before retiring early to concentrate on her marriage to bandleader-singer-actor-comedian Phil Harris (her second husband). Faye and Harris shared a radio show from 1946-1954. Harris won renewed popularity doing cartoon voices in Disney features, most notably Baloo the bear in The Jungle Book, but Faye's own comeback roles did not showcase her to advantage.

Alice Faye Quotes:
Eric Stanton: [sarcastically] You need me, right.
June Mills: You're my husband, and I'm your wife.
Eric Stanton: Right out of a book, again.
June Mills: Yes, out of a book: "We were born to tread the earth as angels, to seek out heaven this side of the sky. But they who race above shall stumble in the dark, and fall from grace."
Eric Stanton: Go on. Sounds good.
June Mills: "Then love alone can make the fallen angel rise. For only two together can enter Paradise."
Tommy Randall: Look, I know exactly what you think of me, but that's not important now. Hear me out. Marry me! Please don't misunderstand me. You wouldn't have to put up with me. It'll be a marriage in name only. As soon as we dock in San Francisco, we'll go right to Reno and get a divorce. My lawyers will take care of everything. Please, won't you do it? It's the only way.
Susan Parker: Would you really do that for her?
Tommy Randall: I'd do anything in the world for her.
Susan Parker: So would I.
Jimmy Dolan: Don't forget, we've got another radio audition tomorrow. You know, this radio racket is a lot harder than Vaudeville used to be. Remember when we got married?
Jerry Dolan: No, and don't remind me. By the way, I'm getting tired of these radio auditions. If we don't land a job soon, I'm going home to my mother.
Jerry Dolan: Well, that's better than bringing the old bat here.
