Description

We have 3 copies left of this novel by the same author as “To Love Again.” Laurrie Garner had a relationship at one time with Nelson Eddy and so in all her writing, her male hero is always somehow incorporating the Nelson she knew. From the book blurb: “Every now and then, you find a book that can reach into your heart and will live with you for the rest of your life. Such a book must bring to life people who you can relate to, love, admire and remember. Here we believe you may find such a book. The Coo Coo’s Nest is the unforgettable story of one woman and her need to fulfill her destiny as a mother, and the man who shares that destiny with her. It is set in 1955 Europe and is filled with romance, humor, tragedy and a surprising, suspenseful twist. Among the cast of characters are some renowned, true-life people from the era. In that time and world, nothing was simple, but two wonderful children helped to set the course for a better and more joyous future. Meet them and come share their story and you will love them too.”

Today in J/N History

1948 “Three Daring Daughters” is released. (Jeanette and Nelson originally were to do this film together; MGM insisted on Jose Iturbi instead.) Jeanette sings “Sweethearts” (from the 1938 film with Nelson). With the intro lyrics she looks at Iturbi, who is accompanying her (and with whom her character is in love). But when she gets to the main part (a duet with Nelson in their film) she turns and sings instead to the orchestra! This curious fact is covered up by shooting her face in closeup so you don’t notice how very odd this is that she does not face Iturbi.
