This is a wonderful glimpse of the woman herself, and she is delightful. Her singing voice gives me chills, every single time. Thanks for posting this!

She walks amazingly well considering the injuries she received!! Good on you, Jane!

I just want to express thanks to those who knew her more recently than I, and who care so much that they take the time to share their memories that will carry forward memories of Jane Froman. She was a magnificent person, a great human being, courageous beyond belief - in addition to being the greatest popular singer of her era!

When I was a senior at the University of Missouri School of Journalism Jane was in the Medical Center being treated for pain killer addiction. She wasn't a drug addict but with so many years of powerful pain killer she needed help. I think everyone in town knew she was in the hospital--including we students--and was worried sick about her. All the doctors and nurses said she was just wonderful. Never complained, never asked for special treatment, lovely to everyone.

Ellen Jane. Such a truly All American girl. Grew up in Columbia, Missouri and in 1948 came back to the University of Missouri to reign as "Coming Home Queen." She rode in an open car with the Homecoming Queen and Court and they all just loved her. She was so down to earth and energetic and sunny, not an aloof star in any way. She retired to Columbia and married the Columbia Tribune's publisher and was beloved to her passing. An incredibly courageous woman.

This is from the final episode with Hal Block.

She did make a remarkable recovery, but her stamina and general health were affected. She had heart trouble, probably exacerbated by the many surgeries and medications she had to endure. Although still a positive person who would occasionally play golf, she retired when she was still fairly young and lived her last years as a semi-invalid. Watching this clip makes me realize how pretty and cheerful she was!

I watch this wonderful presentation , showing the upbeat, positive side of the truly heroic Jane Froman, and realize - with great sadness- how many generations have not known, or will never know, of her magnificent voice,indominitable courage, generous and humanitarian contributions to all people with physical/ emotional handicaps.. I hope this video will remain on YouTube forever, inspiring new generations to ask WHY?
Oh,so nice! To my images of her marvelous voice,extraordinary courage and humanity, this clip adds clear depth of vision of Jane's vivacious beauty,robust laughter,self-efficacing demeanor and her poignant,heartfelt words to Hal: "I'm so glad you didn't make it." Thanks so much for this!

Bless her heart, this clip is from around 10 years after the plane crash, and you can still see her living with the after effects. Her gait is abnormal from the injuries and leg braces. One of her scars can be seen on her right forearm as she signed in.
She showed remarkable strength and drive to resume performing after her body having been so thoroughly shattered.
