Music hall star in the 1880s from the 1943 film Sweet Rosie O'Grady. She's engaged to Charles, Duke of Trippingham (Reginald Gardiner), but scandal erupts when the gossip rag the Police Gazette publishes about her sordid past as Brooklyn saloon singer Rosie O'Grady. This leads to a feud with between her and Gazette reporter Sam Magee (Robert Young).
The movie takes its title from the popular 1896 song "Sweet Rosie O'Grady" by Maude Nugent. There was a 1926 film also titled Sweet Rosie O'Grady, but it seems to have nothing to do with the later film.
