Translation (hopefully accurate): "Nelson Eddy! that's an extraordinary voice!! At the age of 14, I saw him for the first time in the film Spring Days (ie,"Maytime"), I looked for him for a long time. Finally, I found his coordinates and wrote. And I received an answer, a photo with a caption!! It was a great joy. And later I received photos from him two more times! We were all in love with him. We watched the films ten times. We knew them by heart. If you haven't seen his films, be sure to find them. ,, etc. favorite. movie. Muslim Magomayev. ,, Rose Marie ,,!!!!! "

Tomara, that is wonderful, I'm glad he sent you signed photos! He was a kind man and good to his fans, as was Jeanette MacDonald. (Томара, это замечательно, я рада, что он прислал тебе подписанные фотографии! Он был добрым человеком и хорошо относился к своим поклонникам, как и Жанетт Макдональд.)

Mr. Robinson, do you have the letters that you refer to?

@@kathythompson9875 yes

@@dennisrobinson138 I know someone who would be very interested in seeing them if that is something you would share. She is the author of a book about Jeanette and Nelson.

Dennis, if you would be so kind as to email me directly at maceddyclub at gmail.com, would love to discuss with you. Thanks!

No, they weren't related but were photographed together at publicity events a few times over the years.

According to letters from the 1940s, she had 7 psychiatrists ready to testify in court about her emotional problems, thus stopping Nelson from being able to instigate a divorce himself.

Sometimes celebrities trap themselves into situations from which they can't easily extricate themselves. In Nelson's case, in the post-Hollywood years, his wife agreed to a divorce BUT wanted all of Nelson's money and future earnings. Plus the deal breaker was that she would trash Jeanette to the press as a homewrecker and tramp. Nelson was from childhood scarred when, in his childhood, his parents divorced due to the abusive/alcoholic father walking out on them. At school, Nelson got into fights with kids who taunted him and called his mother a whore. Nelson understood the fallout against Jeanette that would likely sink her career, her angelic image and supposed blissful marriage to Gene Raymond. The fans who bought into the PR version of her life would surely turn against her as evidenced by some even today who ignore any documentation proving otherwise.

The PR version that both of them fostered and promoted did little to change. In there lifetimes remember. I know it was a different time but honestly.

Because Nelson is caught off-guard and speaks candidly without thinking of consequences. His interview the next day is much more practiced and smooth, talking about how he and his wife were friends with Jeanette and Gene, etc. Here, he hesitates before discussing what he can say "for public consumption." There's a tinge of bitterness in his voice. Then he gushes about how beautiful she was when he first met her, so much that he couldn't even speak. And his stumbling at the end about the incredulousness of having to give "a statement." One doesn't give "a statement" about the woman who he privately called his wife for decades. His reaction in this interview is quote different than any you would hear from someone who co-starred in some movies together many years ago. There's nothing fake about his confusion and reaction. The reporters that night sat talking to him most of the night; one commented that they were afraid to leave him alone. This is not your typical paparazzi reaction.

It's necessary cause so many of us who are fans of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy want to know the love that they both shared. Their story make me happy and cry. I'm happy for the movies they made together and it gives me great joy to know that they loved each other off screen. I cry because their love for each other was stolen from them. I love these two people even though they are long gone. I want to know as much as I can about them. I fell in love when I watch the marathon of their movies on TCM, July 15th, 2021. I watch one or two movies each day since July 15th. As, I watched Maytime over and over I realize that I had came across this movie in the past; however, at the time I didn't realize the value. Now, in my Mid 50's and watching all 8 movies on July 15th, I see how special and valuable these two amazing people were. I'm in LOVE with MacEddy!
