Mac/Eddy Today #78: Interviews – Jeanette, Nelson, Blythe Kearney, Terry Kilburn

Description

Journal #78 features our Interview issue, with transcripts of the following: 1) an annotated, little-known 1959 interview with Jeanette, in which she speaks candidly on some different topics than other interviews, discussing friendships ranging from Jean Harlow to Woody Van Dyke; 2) the only known excerpt from Nelson’s interview with Tony Thomas; 3) the Blythe Kearney interview which includes a transcript of her edited video clip but also additional content from the 3-hour full interview. Blythe’s grandmother was a lifelong friend with Jeanette from their high school years onward, and Blythe spent time with Jeanette as a child. She also spent a day with both Jeanette and Nelson, who were staying together at the Princess Martha Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida. When Blythe was older, she had a discussion with Jeanette about her relationship with Nelson and how Gene Raymond dealt with it; 4) Terry Kilburn, the child star who played “Brother” in the movie Sweethearts. This issue has additional documentation and is photo-filled.
