TIL Florence Foster Jenkins (1868-1944) believed she was a great opera singer despite being completely tone-deaf. She performed in extravagant costumes, including tinsel wings, and dismissed laughter as jealousy. Her famous quote: “People may say I can’t sing, but no one can ever say I didn’t sing.”

There’s a wonderful album of her recordings. It’s probably easier to find nowadays, now that the movie has made her a bit more well known.
The movie about her was absolutely phenomenal. I strongly encourage anyone interested in this stranger-than-fiction account to check it out.
Which one ?

Huh, I was unaware of the other two, but only one is a movie; @[email protected] is correct!
The first one listed with Hugh Grant and Meryl Streep.
