Forget Mae West, forget Marilyn Monroe and forget Madonna, the real genuine ingénue and wild bisexual gal was a major stage and film star of the thirties called Frances Day!
If only her name had started with an M who knows what could have happened to her!!
Born Frances Victoria Schenk in New Jersey in 1907 her very birth started a sex scandal when it was reported that she was in fact the illegitimate daughter of automobile pioneer Horace Dodge!
Spotted in a New York Speakeasy she was bought to London in 1924 by Australian impresario Beaumont Alexander who immediately divested her of her American accent, dyed her hair platinum blonde (before Jean Harlow!) and launched her into the world of exotic West End cabaret where she was known for performing in nothing but a g string and feather boa. and this was 1925!!
The Thirties were Frances decade and she appeared in countless shows and films, her greatest success being the stunning stage production of Jill Darling.
Described by her co-star Sir Frederick Ashton as absolutely incandescent Frances Day was certainly a uniquely talented, magical and enigmatic presence. She was a song stylist of supreme individuality as this wonderfully re-mastered Double CD from Avid clearly shows. Including many unreleased songs this is the definitive Frances Day release and AVID Entertainment are proud to make her timeless music available for the first time in the UK and in celebration of her centenary!
