Florence Foster Jenkins. Famous and infamous. American socialite and an amateur soprano with very poor opera singing skills and over-the-top costumes. Yet she did manage to perform in one of New York’s musical gems, Carnegie Hall. At age 75, 25th of October 1944, her life-long dream came true. 2800 seats of the auditorium were filled to the brim (with a waiting list of over 2000 people, who couldn’t get in).
