Jeanette on Mary Pickford’s “Parties at Pickfair”

An amazing find! More than a year before their marriages (and joint honeymoon) in 1937, Jeanette MacDonald appeared as a guest on Mary Pickford’s radio show. They remained friends through the years;  Mary and Buddy Rogers are pictured below at Jeanette’s funeral.

Listen to the broadcast here:

Thanks to Angie Schneider for posting an informative article about the show on her blog as well as the YouTube video.

Today in J/N History

1944 Nelson writes the first draft of a movie treatment for himself and Jeanette entitled "Timothy Waits for Love." The plot somewhat resembles Mel Gibson's movie "Forever Young" (1992) in which the hero is cryogenically frozen and wakes up years later to be reunited with his lost love.
