Remembering Jeanette and Blossom

The irony of two close sisters… both died on January 14. Jeanette, the baby of the family, died in 1965 and Blossom followed her in 1978. It’s because of Blossom Rock that we’re here today… she insisted the  Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy story be told, not the PR version. She’s pictured here apparently in her last TV role, a 1966 episode of Sherwood Schwartz’s “It’s About Time,” a caveman comedy. Thank you, Blossom. This is more how she looked when I knew her. We will remember…

Today in J/N History

1939 Exactly one month after Nelson's marriage, Jeanette co-stars with Robert Taylor in the Lux Radio "A Song for Clotilda." It is later announced (after she finally agrees to re-sign an MGM contract) that Robert Taylor will co-star with her, along with Jimmy Stewart, in the film "Smilin' Through." (This doesn't happen.)
