JEANETTE MacDONALD
She writes a thank you letter for a gift in 1957
Typed Letter Signed: "Jeanette MacDonald". 1p, 5½x8½. No
place, 1957 August 27. On her personal imprinted stationery to Mrs. F.
Kirk. In full: "Thank you so very much for the lovely handkerchief - I
certainly appreciate all the work involved in making it for me. Also, Mr.
Raymond joins me in thanking you for your Anniversary greeting - it was very
thoughtful of you. With all good wishes, I am Sincerely." One of
actress/singer JEANNETTE MacDONALD's (1903-1965) best early films was
Monte Carlo (1930) as she sang "Beyond the Blue Horizon" from the
observation car of a moving train. In 1935, MGM teamed MacDonald with
baritone Nelson Eddy in Naughty Marietta, the first of eight highly
popular MacDonald-Eddy film musicals. Though mercilessly lampooned by
comedians, the pair's films were consummately produced and strove to entertain
every member of the film audience, not merely opera lovers. After I Married
an Angel (1942), the singing team split. MacDonald trained diligently to
become a bona fide opera star, finally making her operatic debut in a 1943
Montreal production of Romeo and Juliet. GENE RAYMOND and
Jeannette MacDonald were married from 1937 until her death in 1965; curiously,
they acted together only once, in 1941's Smilin' Through. Slightly
creased. Fine condition.
