Description

This magazine contains the most complete study of the backgrounds of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald ever published. For Nelson we trace the following family trees: Eddy, Van Buren, Ackerman and Kendrick including an interview with one his Kendrick cousins. For Jeanette we follow the McDonald (MacDonald), Wright and Johnstone lineages, with extensive discussion of her UK heritage. Includes many photos, census reproductions, letters and other documentation of their family trees. Also, a fan’s 1949 Nelson concert tour diary, St. Louis, Missouri and Urbana, Illinois, continued.

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.
