Jeanette on Mary Pickford’s “Parties at Pickfair”

0

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

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.
