Journal #77 features include: a new look at The Girl of the Golden West as it passed its 80th anniversary; an article about the last years and death of Gale Sherwood, Nelson’s nightclub singing partner for 14 years, and her significance in the latter years of the lives of both Nelson and Jeanette; an interview with June Caldwell, the last secretary of director Woody Van Dyke. Caldwell worked for him to the end, helped plan and attended his funeral and so as an eyewitness, sets the record straight about the exact participation made by Nelson and Jeanette; and the rest of Anna MacDonald’s 1931 diary.
