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

1937 Jeanette and Nelson attend a party at the Trocadero together. "Maytime" was still filming and we can assume that this was the tail end of their short-lived reconciliation. A week later Nelson left on his annual concert tour. He was soon giving bitter interviews to the press that were thinly disguised attacks against Jeanette and her ever-present career drive.
