Gracie Fields

1960
Orphanage Music Hall Commander Of The Order Of The British Empire (Cbe)

This is Gracie Field's autobiography, published in 1960 in England and 1961 in the United States. She was a major star in England. She made her first stage appearance as a child in 1905, acting in children's repertory theatre groups such as 'Haley's Garden of Girls' and the 'Nine Dainty Dots'. Her two sisters, Edith and Betty and brother, Tommy, all went on to appear on stage, but Gracie was the most successful (from Wikipedia). Her most famous songs was "Sally" and she was also known for "Walter, Walter", and "It's the Biggest Aspidistra in the World". The book was published in 1960 so ends there but she lived until 1979 and worked, though not as actively, until her death.
