The Films of Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy Eleanor Knowles Dugan

Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy were an unlikely pair to make movie history. He was a tall, fair-haired, classically trained baritone from the opera and concert stage. She was a petite redhead who had danced her way out of the chorus to become a musical comedy star on Broadway. This unlikely pair collided almost accidentally on a movie sound stage in the dark days of the Depression. The sparks ignited a nation, creating some of the greatest musicals of the Golden Age of Hollywood, films that continue to enchant and inspire.
