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.
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.
👏🙌🤗❤ 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 💫💫💫 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏
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
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 .
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.
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.
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.)
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!
Alice Faye - one of the great stars of those Golden Days of Hollywood musicals. you and Tyrone Power and Betty Grable may have been the most beloved stars of 20th Century Fox studios.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
Faye was the subject of This Is Your Life for British television in 1984, when she was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at Hollywood's Metromedia Studios.[citation needed]
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.
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.

Lovely reflections on this marvelous woman and I love the quote from "The Razor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham.
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!
So sweet that hubby Phil Harris is crying more sentimental tears than his dear Alice.
Amazing. This is one of the best things I have seen on UA-cam...legend after legend celebrating a lovely star.
Well said!
I agree...
LOVED this! 💗

Possibly the most moving thing I have ever seen! I didn't even know who she was until now. What a woman and spirit.
Wow some of the best Hollywood stars are on that stage. This is wonderful to see ❤️
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 !

Rip to all who have passed in this video. 🙏
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.
What a wonderful tribute show, glittering with a whole galaxy of great stars.
So lovely, so beautiful, so talented....and obviously so loved by all the big hitters of Hollywood....a true STAR!!!

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 ❤❤❤❤
True Hollywood, that never can be matched, sadly all passed.
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.)
I was not alive when Phil Harris/Alice Faye did their Radio Programs, but I have become a big fan.
I won't spoil the ending.
But, how touching.
Thank you so much for posting.
Beautiful.
Wonderful. I met her around this time. Such a straightforward person. Kind and without any star attitude. Left a lasting impression.
Can you imagine how great the after party must've been?
I just had the same thought! The lady seems like she was fun to be around.
I love hearing their radio skits to this day. brightens my. day. The best.
I am keeping this show FOR-EV-ER!
Priceless and pure joy to watch. 💗💗💗
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
Marvelous. Thank you. What a handsome couple,
Beautiful daughters
And friends
Wow - so wonderful- Great to see Alice Faye and her family and friends'.
How lovely this is.
Awesome!!the best of the best n miss alll those stars!!!
Thanks so much for posting this wonderful program!
How beautiful and such sincere emotions.
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!
Fantastic. Thank you 😊
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!!!
He was magnetic and humorous. Gave everything he was in an extra, positive charge.
Alice Faye brings joy to my life. First film I saw was costarring Shirley Temple. May her work live forever
Jane Withers is so enthusiastic about life in general.
I thought she was going to squeeze Alice Faye to pieces!
I believe Miss Withers was "Josephine the Plumber" in the classic Comet commercials.
She lived to be 96, so a good outlook probably helped.
In real life, a fun-loving "genuine" person: a movie star who was not disappointing to meet
Phenomenal seeing all my faves of my childhood. Rudy Valley and Fred MacMurray with his actress wife June Haver who was fantastic
What a GREAT show !!! A real MUST watch
Seeing this warms my heart! ❤
Wow that was awesome - the best This Is Your Life episode ever without a doubt
she is an especially sweet person.
This was absolutely wonderful!!
GREATEST STAR OF HOLLYWOOD MUSICAL ;MISS ALICE FAYE
these shows always make me tear up
This is such a TREAT!❤️
I love Phil and Alice together
Wonderful looking back at a much better time for entertainment...
Wow .. the Great Alice Faye! And just look at the star power on that stage!
Alice Faye - one of the great stars of those Golden Days of Hollywood musicals. you and Tyrone Power and Betty Grable may have been the most beloved stars of 20th Century Fox studios.
So elegant ..nothing like the trash of today’s so called stars !

Joseph Consoli so well written completely agree !
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.
absolutely marvelous
George Murphy was such a happy individual!
Alice was a real star. A Grey singer and actress. I adore her♥️
Phil had previously been surprised by Ralph Edwards on the original series in September 1957.
One of my favorite s of all movies
Pure class
I always loved Alice Fay in the Shirley Temple movies.
No less than Irving Berlin was a big admirer of Alice, saying she introduced his songs better than anyone.
she was popular in england
Was wondering if anyone else think that Alice and Phil are acting a bit distant in this?
Alice Faye Was a Terrific Woman.
Fred seems the nicest man
Great Tribute but she can’t get a word in. The eye rolls tell the story. Love Alice Faye …. Before my time!
Am I the only one who noticed the coldness greeting between her and her husband?🤔
I think that might be because she gave up her career at Fox after marrying him
@@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.

If you’re going to assume something of someone assume the best.
48:04, when all the people you know love you.
Cried all the way through it.
Of course, unlike Sonny and Cher, Alice Faye and Phil Harris stayed happily married to the end.
Alice Faye and husband married for 43-42 years , MIne and hubby’s gotta add another 11-12 years would be 43-42 Wow she’s prettiest
Faye was the subject of This Is Your Life for British television in 1984, when she was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at Hollywood's Metromedia Studios.[citation needed]
This was taped 38 years ago, and Jane Withers died just last year.
Poor Phil just cried. His one daughter look just like him .
38:48, so good.🕯️
Love Alice...eyebrows grow back RAPID BROW! Takes about a month
49:05, nice synchronization.
46:37, that is the ongoing story.
Lord lovett
22:23, so true.
Jack Benny fan here.😍
I miss Shirley temple
Philsy baby ❤️
I think Alice didn't feel confortable doing this TV Show.
Daniel ATT Alice Faye was a very quiet and reserved person, It was interesting how emotional Phil got about it though.
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
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.
THIS IS YOUR LIFE RALPH EDWRDS JEFFREY CERAGRE
Have you got anymore episodes of this is your life please?
To be honest I'm not sure yet. I inherited a huge box of video tapes and there may be some gems on them :-)
Ok try for me please.
Have you watched my other TIYL special?
Which one?

12:00, oh, do not be caddy.
13:59, nice
50:05, breathing out.
Mary Martin went back to SF and was almost killed in a taxi accident
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.
And what’s your point Aesop ? Gonna bring this in or circle the airport ??
@@Kandlelite Another troll circling the drain. Why bother?
@@danielappel1368 I’m NOT A TROLL ya bell end .... Mary Martin was Larry Hagmans mother as I recall !!
How come Shirley Temple Black wasn't on this show?
22:53, revelation
43:03, no decorum, so sad.
She looked...conflicted about Don Ameche. What's the story there?
That was 50 years before there’s no story remember that’s half a century ago 1934-1984 !
SO WHERE WAS RALPH EDWARDS?????????
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.
50:34, india, oh dear.
45:46, legally all they needed were lines, but ethically more was needed.
10:05, she reminds me of Meghan McCain.
40:33, oh
4:35, blame for marriage, how scottish.
She didn't look very happy
