New “Master Class” video to watch: The Funeral of Jeanette MacDonald
The third “Master Class” in our series presented by Madeline Bayless and Linda Tolman has been uploaded for you to watch at this link. The topic of this 53-minute video is the funeral of Jeanette MacDonald…and Nelson Eddy’s participation – both private and public – in the events that followed her death on January 14, 1965.

I watched the above video and have a question. From where did the details of Nelson Eddy’s personal participation in the funeral come? Also, I find it hard to believe that Gene Raymond would have confided
Jeanette’s final words to Nelson, telling him that he replied to her statement “I love you”, thinking that it
was Nelson at her bedside.
