This is the first full-length biography of an entertainer who was more loved and revered by her fellow-countryfolk than any other in modern times. The BBC played her records to counter the Nazi propaganda of Lord Haw-Haw.We follow her life from childhood in Rochdale to the last years on Capril. We see her starring in stage shows in the 20s, in films in the 30s; incurring underserved publich hostility for her wartime marraige to an Italian citizen; boosting the morale of the troops; bouncing back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s with records in the hit parade and a triumphant last Royal Command performance at the age of 80; and finally, in the year of her death, made Dame Commander of the British Empire.
