Queen of Hearts (1936)
Grace Perkins (Gracie Fields), an ordinary working class seamstress, is mistaken for a rich patron of the arts. When she's asked to back a new show, Grace plays along with the charade, hoping that she can become the production's leading lady. When the show opens, Grace is a huge hit and becomes a glamorous star.
Look Up and Laugh (1935)In what is widely regarded as her finest performance, Gracie Fields plays Gracie Pearson - a singer-comedienne who is determined to save her local market from being demolished to make way for a department store. As time runs out, Gracie rallies the stall-keepers together through a series of ever-more-hilarious schemes to save their livelihoods. - Actors:
