Fan letter from "A Scandalous Affair"
Fan letter from "A Scandalous Affair"

A fan letter from the Altoona, PA Mishler Theatre production of the Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy story, “A Scandalous Affair” starring Hallie Neill and Theodore Lambrinos:

Dear Sharon

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I was at the showing of A Scandalous Affair at the Mishler Theatre in Altoona. My son took us and we had a wonderful time. Jeanette and Nelson would be proud to know their story was being told so lovingly and with truth.

Thank you for everything you do.

Eva, Patrick, Michele and Susie Irwin

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.
