Journal #77 released!

maceddy Announcements 1 Comment

At long last, Mac/Eddy Today Issue #77  is available! It includes: a new look at The Girl of the Golden West as it passed its 80th anniversary; an article about the death of Gale Sherwood, Nelson’s nightclub singing partner for 14 years, and her significance in the latter years of the lives of both Nelson and Jeanette; an interview with June Caldwell, the last secretary of director Woody Van Dyke. Caldwell worked for him to the end, helped plan and attended his funeral and so as an eyewitness, sets the record straight on the exact participation made by Nelson and Jeanette; and the rest of Anna MacDonald’s 1931 diary, which gives a very clear picture of how a movie star’s mother (and stage mother) spent her days in Hollywood as her daughter worked. All these articles are filled with rare photos (including some of the last public photos taken of Jeanette) and the magazine is printed on glossy paper with gorgeous centerfold portraits of each star.

You can order the magazine now at this link. Enjoy!

Remembering Nelson Eddy (1901-1967)

maceddy Announcements We will remember 1 Comment

Remembering Nelson Eddy today. In 1967 he suffered a massive stroke onstage while performing, 65 years old,  and never regained consciousness. This photo of was part of a series shot in 1938, during a period of his life when he was happy in his personal life. By nature he was highly intelligent, funny, artistic in many genres, creative, an amazing singer, and he loved animals and nature. Very few photos capture that energy and joy of life but this one certainly does!

Nelson Eddy & Jeanette MacDonald Christmas songs

maceddy Announcements mp3 0 Comments

It’s that time of year again…what better holiday songs to listen to than Nelson Eddy’s. Listen… and enjoy!

Nelson: Joy to the World

Nelson:  Oh, Come All Ye Faithful

Nelson: Silent Night

Nelson: Deck the Halls

Nelson: O Holy Night

Nelson: White Christmas

Sadly, Jeanette MacDonald never recorded a Christmas album but we have one song she sang on a Christmas radio show.

Jeanette: Christmas Song

And below, a reader comment sent to us:

Thank you for sending the links to the MacDonald/Eddy Holiday music.  I NEVER get tired of listening to them.

They were my very first album I bought with earned money from doing ironing back in 1978.  I would play their album on my stereo and do housework for my mother.

I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.

And again, I loved reading your book.  I never had a clue they were lovers until then, but I kind of suspected it.

Sincerely, Karen Ritter
