Today in J/N History

1935 Bob Ritchie visits Jeanette at Lake Tahoe, at the tail end of the "Rose Marie" location filming. Nelson is not speaking to her off-screen . According to surviving letters, Ritchie was interested in rekindling a romance with Jeanette but as she later wrote him, she didn't think she could ever feel that way about him again.
