Nelson Eddy "New Moon" coat

Now until April 2013, you can see a wonderful collection of Hollywood costumes worn in classic films by legends like Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, Barbra Streisand…and Nelson Eddy! The exhibit is called All Dressed Up: From Broadway to Hollywood at the Tony Gould Gallery.

Pictured here is Nelson Eddy’s coat from New Moon.

And a good closeup of the coat here.

Today in J/N History

1948 “Three Daring Daughters” is released. (Jeanette and Nelson originally were to do this film together; MGM insisted on Jose Iturbi instead.) Jeanette sings “Sweethearts” (from the 1938 film with Nelson). With the intro lyrics she looks at Iturbi, who is accompanying her (and with whom her character is in love). But when she gets to the main part (a duet with Nelson in their film) she turns and sings instead to the orchestra! This curious fact is covered up by shooting her face in closeup so you don’t notice how very odd this is that she does not face Iturbi.
