Description

New release! Journal #79 celebrates the 90th anniversary of Naughty Marietta. The photo-filled main article includes script excerpts that were cut or changed, and interesting new information about the film. Our two Cora Sue Collins interviews are transcribed here, with many photos, as she was the last surviving cast member of the movie (the little girl who begged Jeanette for a puppy). She also discusses working with other great stars, including Greta Garbo and Norma Shearer. Her experiences at MGM, both positive and negative, and why she left Hollywood in her mid-teens, are enlightening – a sober look at the kinds of challenges Jeanette and Nelson faced during those same years.

 

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.
