Alice Faye (May 5, 1915 – May 9, 1998) was an American actress and singer, called by The New York Times "one of the few movie stars to walk away from stardom at the peak of her career".
Born Alice Jeane Leppert in New York City, she was the daughter of a New York police officer of German descent, Charles Leppert, and his Irish-American wife, Alice (née Moffit) Leppert. She was raised an Episcopalian. Faye's entertainment career began in vaudeville as a chorus girl (she failed an audition for the Earl Carroll Vanities when it was revealed she was too young), before she moved to Broadway and a featured role in the 1931 edition of George White's Scandals. By this time, she had adopted her stage name and first reached a radio audience on Rudy Vallée's The Fleischmann Hour (1932–34).
Film career
Faye got her first major film break in 1934, when Lilian Harvey abandoned the lead role in a film version of George White's 1935 Scandals, in which Vallee was also to appear. Hired first to perform a musical number with Vallee, Faye ended up as the female lead. She became a hit with film audiences of the 1930s, particularly when Fox production head Darryl F. Zanuck made her his protégée. He softened Faye from a wisecracking show girl to a youthful, yet somewhat motherly figure such as she played in a few Shirley Temple films. Faye also received a physical makeover, going from a version of Jean Harlow to a wholesome appearance, in which her platinum hair and pencil-line eyebrows were swapped for a more natural look.

Better Not // Alice Faye Live Session
Better Not - Alice Faye
Lyrics ~
Better not
Better not wake up
Better not stay up
Better not make love
Better not
Better not pretend
Place a bet that we’d make the same mistakes again
Ain’t it fun?
Spinning round again,
Falling down again,
Makes it easy in the end,
In the end
Better not
Better not make plans
Better stand where you stand
Best not shake hands
Somethings can break
Somethings we cannot mend
And there are things we write that we know we shouldn’t send
Ain’t it fun?
Spinning round again,
Falling down again,
Makes it easy in the end,
In the end,
In the end
Somethings can break
Somethings we cannot mend
There are things we write that we know we shouldn’t send

How about a little celebration To the jingle of a wedding bell? How about a little reservation At the Honeymoon Hotel? Honeymooning's going to be my hobby. Don't you think a honeymoon is swell? Wait until we walk into the lobby Of the Honeymoon Hotel. Cupid is the night clerk Neath the stars above; He just loves his night work, And, we just love to love. Oh, I'm a mister looking for a missus. As a missus, you'll do very well. Bring along your things and all your kisses To the Honeymoon Hotel.
