There was a real Jenny Lind, but there are no known recordings of her. Born in 1820, she was a world-renowned Swedish opera singer, dubbed "The Swedish Nightingale". At the height of her fame she toured the U.S. from 1850 to 1852 under the auspices of famous showman P. T. Barnum that reportedly made close to $1M. Lind gave most of her earnings to charity. She passed away November 2, 1887. A 1930 fictionalized film about Lind, A Lady's Morals (1930) was made by MGM.
