Florence Foster Jenkins (born Narcissa Florence Foster; July 19, 1868 – November 26, 1944) was an American socialite and amateur soprano who was known, and mocked, for her flamboyant performance costumes and notably poor singing ability. The historian Stephen Pile ranked her "the world's worst opera singer.

Cosme McMoon reminisces about Florence Foster Jenkins. Olive Middleton, beloved diva assoluta of the La Puma Opera Workshop, is represented with her beloved "Miserere" from "Trovatore" her alleged high C ringing rather clearly through the speakers. A lovely surprise was the discovery of Norma-Jean Erdmann-Chadbourne, who is in fact the "Jenny Williams" of the Victor "Faust Travesty". Madame Mari Lyn (although the program notes claim that she was a woman, and a widow to boot, I swear I think this person was a drag queen!) gives her special vocal rendition of "Una voce poco fa".

Florence Foster Jenkins (film). Florence Foster Jenkins is a 2016 biographical film directed by Stephen Frears and written by Nicholas Martin. Hugh Grant plays her husband and manager, St. Clair Bayfield. Other cast members include Simon Helberg, Rebecca Ferguson, and Nina Arianda.

Florence Foster Jenkins was a wealthy grande dame and patron of the arts who notoriously deluded herself she was a talented coloratura soprano, warbling off-key at excruciating private concerts and soirees. Meryl Streep plays her with great gusto, the empress proud of her new clothes. Frears’s movie lays out the awful, dysfunctional situation: because they wanted her cash and her contacts, some of the grandest musicians swallowed their pride and paid court to Jenkins, flattered her (in private) and pretended not to notice how terrible she was. Reassured by her evident association with these genuine titans, her undiscerning fans cooed and fed her the delicious drug of celebrity prestige at countless little events – while other people suppressed their astonished giggles.
