Silksoundbooks - Jane Horrocks to star as Gracie!Billie, on 01/09/2009 10:42:45 If you are as big a fan of Silksoundbooks star audio book reader Jane Horrocks as we are, then here is some great news! The autumn season on BBC4 will feature 3 one-off films about the artistic careers of British female icons Margot Fonteyn, Gracie Fields and Enid Blyton. Jane Horrocks will star in Gracie!, Nick Vivian's romantic comedy about Gracie Fields, the singer and comedienne from Rochdale who rose to fame in the Thirties becoming the nation's darling and the highest-paid film actress in the world. Renowned for her "common touch", Gracie symbolised the indomitable spirit of Thirties Britain. Her mass appeal was unprecedented. Jane will sing a stunning repertoire of Gracie songs including Sally, Sing As We Go and I Never Cried So Much In All My Life. This is a programme we are definitely looking forward to watching. Jane's singing and reading talents are put to good use in her two Silksoundbooks audiobooks - Sonnets from the Portuguese, a collection of forty-four love sonnets written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Nursery Rhymes, an exclusive collection of favourite childhood Nursery Rhymes. Two great audiobooks from silksoundbooks.com Carole Heath wrote:on 27/11/2009 17:33:32 I watched the programme on Gracie Fields with Jane Horrocks, i thought Jane was really good as Gracie, the pathos she put into the performance was brilliant especially when Gracie was accused of being a trator and letting Britain down for marrying Monty Banks her Italian husband. The fact that Jane also comes from Lancashire like Gracie helped to make the role played by Jane more real. Jane is a very talented actor who can forget her performance in (Little Voice) when she took off Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey to name but a few. I saw the Enid Blyton programme with Helena Bonham Carter which was also very good,she is very talented to in my opinion, i can't want to see the programme on Margot Fonteyn a wonderful classical dancer, i am sure it won't disappoint me.
