Two of the books offered here were written by Laurrie Garner—one under her own name and one under the pseudonym K.T. Ernshaw. Laurrie shared an on-and-off relationship with Nelson Eddy during periods when he was estranged from Jeanette MacDonald. Her novel To Love Again draws on that experience, with the main character inspired by the Nelson she personally knew.

Laurrie was one of the few women to speak publicly at our group events, candidly sharing her time with Nelson. That chapter of her life came to a close when she came to understand that Jeanette was the true love of his life.

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.
