Alice Faye (May 5, 1915 – May 9, 1998) was an American actress and singer, called by The New York Times "one of the few movie stars to walk away from stardom at the peak of her career".
She is often associated with the Academy Award–winning standard "You'll Never Know", which she introduced in the 1943 musical film Hello, Frisco, Hello.
Born Alice Jeane Leppert in New York City, she was the daughter of a New York police officer of German descent, Charles Leppert, and his Irish-American wife, Alice (née Moffit) Leppert. She was raised an Episcopalian. Faye's entertainment career began in vaudeville as a chorus girl (she failed an audition for the Earl Carroll Vanities when it was revealed she was too young), before she moved to Broadway and a featured role in the 1931 edition of George White's Scandals. By this time, she had adopted her stage name and first reached a radio audience on Rudy Vallée's The Fleischmann Hour (1932–34).
Faye got her first major film break in 1934, when Lilian Harvey abandoned the lead role in a film version of George White's 1935 Scandals, in which Vallee was also to appear. Hired first to perform a musical number with Vallee, Faye ended up as the female lead. She became a hit with film audiences of the 1930s, particularly when Fox production head Darryl F. Zanuck made her his protégée. He softened Faye from a wisecracking show girl to a youthful, yet somewhat motherly figure such as she played in a few Shirley Temple films. Faye also received a physical makeover, going from a version of Jean Harlow to a wholesome appearance, in which her platinum hair and pencil-line eyebrows were swapped for a more natural look.

Genres: Music, Romance, War,Alice Faye was one of the most popular musical stars in the golden era of Hollywood. From the late 1930s to the mid-1940s she was a top box- office attraction in such films as Alexander's Ragtime Band and That Night in Rio, and composers Jule Styne and Irving Berlin were among those who praised her melodic distinctively throaty crooning style. Among the songs she introduced on screen was the 1944 Oscar-winner "You'll Never Know" which became permanently identified with her. Alice Faye Personal Quote: "Six films I made with Don Ameche and, in every one of them, my voice was deeper than the plot." Alice was the first female crooner in the movies and led the way for women to sell the popular song on screen. She also changed the image of the leading lady in the movie musi...
A Sweet Song From The Film "Wake Up And Live"...
from a m c
This is a tribute to one of the most talented and one of the most underrated actresses in Hollywood history: Alice Faye. The song is her Oscar-winning trademark, "You'll Never Know" from "Hello, Frisco, Hello" (1943). This version is from her cameo apperance "Four Jills in a Jeep" (1944). Enjoy! Lyrics: You'll never know just how much I miss you, You'll never know just how much I care. And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you. You ought to know, For haven't I told you so, A million or more times? You went away and my heart went with you, I speak your name in my every prayer. If there is some other way to prove that I love you, I swear I don't know how. You'll never know if you don't know now.

Alice sings an old ballad in her usual bravura style.
How about a little celebration
To the jingle of a wedding bell?
How about a little reservation
At the Honeymoon Hotel?
Honeymooning's going to be my hobby.
Don't you think a honeymoon is swell?
Wait until we walk into the lobby
Of the Honeymoon Hotel.
Cupid is the night clerk
Neath the stars above;
He just loves his night work,
And, we just love to love.
Oh, I'm a mister looking for a missus.
As a missus, you'll do very well.
Bring along your things and all your kisses
To the Honeymoon Hotel.
