This issue celebrates the 90th anniversary of Naughty Marietta! Included are new awesome photos, new information, script pages reproduced showing the differences in what was filmed but not in the final cut, the “Casquette girls” Nelson dated before he and Jeanette really became an item, and the documented truth about that scene where Nelson shoves Jeanette into a chair.
Also included is an article combining both lengthy interview transcripts with Cora Sue Collins, the last surviving actor from Naughty Marietta. She candidly discusses her friendship with Greta Garbo along with the #MeToo issues at MGM and why she quit Hollywood at age 15. We were thrilled to have her attend our 2024 Los Angeles luncheon and she was looking forward to joining us again last month. She passed away in March 2025, a week after her 98th birthday. These interviews were among the very last she did; she was a wonderful woman and we’re grateful to feature her in this magazine.
