This Is Your Life - Alice Faye (19th Dec 1984)

[@theuninvited1944GR]

This was a Great Tribute to a Great Lady.It says something about a person that so many people came from so many places to honor their friend.I am reminded of that line from "The Wizard of Oz"- "It is not so much how you love, but how much you are loved by others".Alice Faye was a great star, but more important, she was a Good Person,and after all, goodness is the greatest power on Earth.

[@willec7105]

Lovely reflections on this marvelous woman and I love the quote from "The Razor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham.

[@britishtvlover2038]

This is the best “This Is Your Life” episode I’ve seen. More stars and celebrities than I’ve ever seen on any other “Life!

[@tarnsand440]

So sweet that hubby Phil Harris is crying more sentimental tears than his dear Alice.

[@TheJewellian]

Possibly the most moving thing I have ever seen! I didn't even know who she was until now. What a woman and spirit.

[@Panachord]

Amazing. This is one of the best things I have seen on KZbin...legend after legend celebrating a lovely star.

[@anniem9595]

Well said! I agree... LOVED this! 💗

[@patachou636]

👏🙌🤗❤ I had tears in my eyes watching this entire show, but at 19:19 with Tyrone Power, she starts singing "Alexander's Ragtime Band" I totally lost it and sobbed like a baby❣ Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful lady's story👏👏👏 I have ALWAYS LOVED both Alice and Phil 💕❤🤗 All the 🌟 ⭐ 🌟 ⭐ Stars - Now in HEAVEN 💫💫💫 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏

[@rhondawaldron]

Same still wiping tears

[@reneecarter6702]

Wow some of the best Hollywood stars are on that stage. This is wonderful to see ❤️

[@paulengel7789]

Somewhat ironically, Alice Faye, Phil Harris, Bob & Dolores Hope and most of the guests already in their 70s and 80s at the time of this show would outlive host Eamonn Andrews. He died in 1987 at age 64, only four years after this show was broadcast

[@Pdjohnners]

I won't spoil the ending. But, how touching. Thank you so much for posting. Beautiful.

[@Lgevirtz]

What a wonderful tribute show, glittering with a whole galaxy of great stars.

[@Farrah300]

I think that Alice made the right decision to retire from show business. Her family was more important than any film part she could ever play. Such a fabulous and delightful lady.

[@ron-waynehoekstra7007]

This show for Alice Faye must the greatest one seeing Ruby Keeler , Mary Martin , Caesar Romero , Jane Withers , Fred McMurray , knowing he filmed with Carole Lombard and all so many of the greatest years of Hollywood ! Really really enjoy this episode as am a huge Hollywood fan . From the silents , musicals the drama pictures . Have some Alice Faye records / CD s .

[@willec7105]

What a moving and deeply-meaningful video and tribute to this very special, one-of-a-kind woman who was clearly sent here to touch millions of people in so many different ways and via more venues than just films. Unlike many "Hollywood" people, successful and not so successful, she was able to have the best of both worlds -a professional career and a fulfilling personal/family life, express them, accomplish them with beauty, class, talent, grace, and wit. I don't think I've ever seen a "This Is Your Life" where so many true legends of show business participated both via video and in person which demonstrates that she really touched people in a deep and meaningful way. Thank you for putting this up for all to enjoy.

[@hairyscotman]

So lovely, so beautiful, so talented....and obviously so loved by all the big hitters of Hollywood....a true STAR!!!

[@piustwelfth]

It's unfortunate that Ty Power died at such a young age. He certainly would have made an appearance on this show. Alice adored him. She said he was the most beautiful person, man or woman, that she had ever met.

[@MovieJon]

This was sensational! What an array of famous (and some not so famous) people, all so happy to be paying tribute to Ms. Faye. She was clearly adored by the majority of those she worked with (or even just came to know.)

[@dwderp]

Can you imagine how great the after party must've been?

[@hcombs0104]

I just had the same thought! The lady seems like she was fun to be around.

[@williamf4544]

As Hollywood stars go they dont come bigger than Alice Faye - she was loved so much here in Scotland and no doubt all over the world

[@searlekochberg]

Wonderful. I met her around this time. Such a straightforward person. Kind and without any star attitude. Left a lasting impression.

[@traceya9615]

This was a privilege to watch.I love Alice Faye and Phil Harris. Wonderful to see all their great friends and of course, the great Eamonn Andrews ❤❤❤❤

[@ray2895]

I love hearing their radio skits to this day. brightens my. day. The best.

[@stephenmaxwell5161]

I was not alive when Phil Harris/Alice Faye did their Radio Programs, but I have become a big fan.

[@ajabrams]

Thanks so much for posting this wonderful program!

[@anniem9595]

I am keeping this show FOR-EV-ER! Priceless and pure joy to watch. 💗💗💗

[@RyanHLee-nc7hg]

As an aficionado of the Golden Age of Hollywood, I regret to say that I had never heard of Alice Faye before I stumbled across this video. And that truly is a shame because she seems to be in a class all herself. She seems like someone I wish I would have known. What a lady!

[@maryellengrayberg9146]

Rip to all who have passed in this video. 🙏

[@chrisabraham8793]

True Hollywood, that never can be matched, sadly all passed.

[@scotnick59]

In real life, a fun-loving "genuine" person: a movie star who was not disappointing to meet

GREATEST STAR OF HOLLYWOOD MUSICAL ;MISS ALICE FAYE

[@joanpellillo2981]

Wow - so wonderful- Great to see Alice Faye and her family and friends'.

[@Farrah300]

I have to say that I absolutely adore Ceasar Romero, and not just for his role as the Joker on Batman. He's just awesome!!!

[@esmeephillips5888]

He was magnetic and humorous. Gave everything he was in an extra, positive charge.

[@albertobello8717]

Fantastic. Thank you 😊

[@elainelosee7974]

Marvelous. Thank you. What a handsome couple, Beautiful daughters And friends

[@scotnick59]

Jane Withers is so enthusiastic about life in general.

[@johnfd0210]

I thought she was going to squeeze Alice Faye to pieces!

[@Farrah300]

I believe Miss Withers was "Josephine the Plumber" in the classic Comet commercials.

[@hcombs0104]

She lived to be 96, so a good outlook probably helped.

[@nialone1084]

How beautiful and such sincere emotions.

[@LaPotraBellaca]

I love Phil and Alice together

[@danielstanwyck2812]

she is an especially sweet person.

[@bogofusion]

Alice Faye brings joy to my life. First film I saw was costarring Shirley Temple. May her work live forever

[@82fineart]

Pure class

[@rr7firefly]

Alice Faye was both beautiful and sang beautifully. I fell for her when I saw an old Shirley Temple movie, "Poor Little Rich Girl." She played the role of Jerry Dolan, a vaudeville performer.

[@reneecarter6702]

Was wondering if anyone else think that Alice and Phil are acting a bit distant in this?

[@rkomgm3932]

So elegant ..nothing like the trash of today’s so called stars !

[@josephconsoli4128]

Yes. Respectful, dignified, humorous, and void of anything offense. Those days are long gone. I remember this time so clearly. It seemed these old great stars would just live forever. Fine people that had a proud legacy. How are today's artists (actors, comedians, musicians) going to feel in their last years looking back on careers full of offense crap. The world was reaching a peak in these peoples young world. It's only continues it's quick decline today.

[@rkomgm3932]

[@akrenwinkle]

No less than Irving Berlin was a big admirer of Alice, saying she introduced his songs better than anyone.

[@Loveformula101]

Am I the only one who noticed the coldness greeting between her and her husband?🤔

[@javiervalverde2374]

I think that might be because she gave up her career at Fox after marrying him

[@lscarver5]

@@javiervalverde2374 Alice still made films after she married Phil. She quit the movies and walked out on the remainder of her Fox contract after her part in the movie Fallen Angel was edited in favor of Linda Darnell.

[@javiervalverde2374]

@@lscarver5 Yes I know that but still it seems there's a tension in their relationship. I heard Darryl Zanuck put her on the blacklist in Hollywood so no studio would hire her because she walked out on her contract.

[@lscarver5]

@@javiervalverde2374 that's probably true. I saw a interview with Alice in the 90's, and she admitted that she was blacklisted from the studios. That's when she and Phil Harris started their popular radio show. As far as the "tension" between Alice and Phil, I wouldn't doubt that there might have been something behind the scenes.

I think Alice didn't feel confortable doing this TV Show.

[@cmcb09]

Daniel ATT Alice Faye was a very quiet and reserved person, It was interesting how emotional Phil got about it though.

[@MrRodrigues4]

It's true. I adore her and I think she is sweet and polite but, in this show, she is a bit tense. She isn't outgoing or talkative as Bette Davis

[@georgeulrich3823]

At first she was not happy about having this sprung on her. She almost refused to do it but as the show went on she was fine with it. You can see the change as you watch it.

Mary Martin was not a star in the early 30s. The host is confusing her with Ethel Merman. Alice was a chorus girl in George White's Scandals of 1931, starring Ethel Merman.

[@esmeephillips5888]

This is a Thames Television production for British commercial television. The BBC bought the rights in 1955. Later they were sold to its rival, the ITV network, but Eamonn Andrews remained emcee. He passed in 1987. Alice Faye had been as popular in Blighty as Stateside, so she was a natural target for the Big Red Book.
