Que Deviennent Les Roses, Op. 110 - Grace Moore

Mary Willie Grace Moore (December 5, 1898 - January 26, 1947) was an American operatic soprano and Academy Award-nominated actress in musical theatre and film, nicknamed the "Tennessee Nightingale." Her films helped to popularize opera by bringing it to a larger audience. Born December 5, 1898 (but some sources give her birth year as 1901) to Richard Lawson Moore and Jane (Stokely) Moore in the community of Slabtown (now considered part of Del Rio) in Cocke County, Tennessee, she and her parents relocated to Jellico, Tennessee when she was a child.
