Beautiful tribute page to Nelson and Jeanette

One of our club members, Dorothy Jadlowiec, runs the informative website arabella-and-co.com. It’s an online magazine devoted to to the great stars of old Hollywood. She has many articles and photos featuring Nelson Eddy (and Jeanette MacDonald) and she has a wonderful Nelson tribute page called “The Baritone and His Lady”… check it out here. The tinted photo used on that page and also posted above was done by our late, great friend Vonnie Krotts.

Today in J/N History

1939 Nelson marries Ann Franklin in Las Vegas, accompanied by his reluctant mother Isabel and Ann's friend Doris Kenyon. Kenyon was a silent film actress and also occasionally co-starred with Nelson in live opera in Los Angeles. Nelson by his own statement had been drinking and one newspaper clipping noted that he was halfway up the aisle before realizing that Doris not Ann was at his side.
