EDITORS COMMENTS
Gracie Fields as 'Shipyard Sally' in this 1939 photograph. Gracie Fields (1898-1979), a British actress and singer, rose to prominence in the 1930s with her unique blend of humor, talent, and charisma. In this image, she is seen in character as 'Shipyard Sally,' a male impersonator who defied gender norms and captivated audiences with her cross-dressing performances. Dressed in a sailor suit, complete with a cigar clenched between her teeth, Fields exudes confidence and swagger. Her bold, expressive eyes and signature red lipstick add an air of glamour and allure to the rough and tumble character. The photograph, taken during the height of her career, is a testament to her ability to transform herself and captivate audiences with her talent and charisma. Cross-dressing was a popular trend in British entertainment during the 1930s, and Fields was one of the most successful and beloved performers in this genre. Her ability to convincingly portray male characters, combined with her natural comedic timing and powerful singing voice, made her a favorite among audiences. This photograph, with its striking image of Fields as Shipyard Sally, is a reminder of her enduring legacy and the impact she had on British popular culture during this era.
