Happy birthday, Jeanette MacDonald!

In honor of Jeanette MacDonald’s birthday today, below are links to two of her later interviews.

In the first one, she discusses the release of her record album with Nelson Eddy, “Favorites in Hi-Fi.”

In the second YouTube video, Jeanette discusses the frustrations of writing her ill-fated autobiography.

Note that the unfinished typewritten manuscript with Jeanette’s handwritten notes was finally annotated and published in 2004; more on the back story of what happened after this interview can be read here.

Today in J/N History

1935 Nelson sings his final live operatic role in "Aida" with the San Francisco opera. Although many bootleg recordings exist of the SF opera productions during that time period, a live recording of this event has never surfaced.
