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.

Today in J/N History

1939 Nelson gives a concert in San Antonio. During the early part of this yearly tour his new wife, Ann, traveled with him. But as they headed East reviewers noted his voice sounded strained and he didn't seem to be in top form. Finally he sent Ann back to Los Angeles and finished the tour alone. (Note: during his tour the previous year, Jeanette traveled with him for part of it.)
