Nelson Eddy – 1901-1967 – We Will Remember…

Nelson Eddy

Gorgeous man…gorgeous voice…if Louie B. Mayer were around today, he’d no doubt still be scratching his head wondering what the fuss was still all about with “the baritone.”  But of all the great MGM stars, there are no two more fiercely remembered, loved, defended and enjoyed into the 21st century than Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald.

Please post your comments and memories.

Today in J/N History

1939 Nelson marries Ann Franklin in Las Vegas, accompanied by his reluctant mother Isabel and Ann's friend Doris Kenyon. Kenyon was a silent film actress and also occasionally co-starred with Nelson in live opera in Los Angeles. Nelson by his own statement had been drinking and one newspaper clipping noted that he was halfway up the aisle before realizing that Doris not Ann was at his side.
