Interesting live auction – Jeanette MacDonald is one of the celebrities who wrote in actress silent film actress Ruth Roland’s diary. Roland, along with Pearl White, was the queen of early film serials. She pretty much retired in 1925 (apparently made only 3 films after that) and died in 1937. Here’s some information about her diary:

It’s a live Ebay auction that ends on Friday. No data as to whether Jeanette personalized her autograph. Bidding is at about $3000 as of today. It’ll be interesting to see what this diary brings!

Today in J/N History

1946 Nelson sings "My Wonder One" on his radio show...and fans wonder! The local fans in particular have observed the strained interaction between Nelson and his wife Ann during the few times she shows up at one of his radio shows. They are certain that the sensual, love-sick lyrics are for someone other than Ann Eddy...but could it be true that he still holds a torch for...Jeanette? Those who have observed Nelson's attentiveness, excitement - and wandering hands - when Jeanette is his guest star are afraid to believe it. The underlying tragedy of Nelson Eddy trapped in a loveless marriage is more than they can think with.
