Florence Foster Jenkins, played by Meryl Streep, was a wealthy New York socialite and amateur opera singer who became an unlikely sensation in the 1940s despite her complete lack of vocal talent. In a featurette released for the movie "Florence Foster Jenkins," the focus is on a particularly memorable moment in her career, the "Gladys" Carnegie Moment. This incident occurred during a Carnegie Hall performance in 1944, when Jenkins sang the aria "The Jewel Song" from Gounod's "Faust." While her voice was off-key and her technique was unconventional, Jenkins's indomitable spirit and unyielding confidence won over the audience, who erupted in thunderous applause. The featurette "Gladys" Carnegie Moment" provides a glimpse into the unlikely triumph of one of the world's most infamous singers.
