oh, it's bittersweet: it puts a smile on my face, and yet i regret the passing of the age of easy sophistication, impeccable courtesy and pre-cool cool.

100 percent CHARM had Jeanette...

Off screen she was very light and witty. She was a hard, hard worker who managed to forge a legendary screen career on her own terms. She and Nelson Eddy were not only co-stars but the closest of friends.  She was very loyal to her family and friends all her life.

She seemed so sweet. Too bad she died rather young. She was still alive when they were considering her for the Mother Abbes in Sounf of Music but unfortunately was unable to do it due to her health and Peggy Wood got the honor.

@jimmysudar Man, I wish I'd said that : " pre-cool cool " ........They were effortless with the witty, sophisticated

TASTEFUL repartee.

@MsChihuahua9700 That's cool to know. I'm 17. I love her movies with Maurice Chevalier, you should check those out. OH Maurice. Good singers.

In an age of leading women (whom you could hardly call ladies) and leading men (who would no less qualify as gentlemen) on contemporary screens, it makes you appreciate the old-timers as the class acts they really wwere, like Jeanette MacDonald. Although she had skeletons in her closet as much as anyone else in Hollywood (she was in love with Nelson Eddy, but her studio pushed her into marriage with supposedly bi Gene Raymond), she never aired it in public, testimony to her high character.

I'm only 14 and this cracked me up! I'm related to her, I just found out. She was one of my great grandfather's cousins. This is so wonderful (: thanks for the upload!

Thank you for the fun post! I've wondered what Jeanette was like when not acting a role. Too fun. =)

dorothy always does well with musicians. i always thought her reference to "long hairs" was rock music, but she meant classical.

I loved this, she was so sweet

@mburnhors Dude. Find me a male actor who didn't have to wear makeup, onscreen, in the early days of motion pictures. Think those lights weren't bright? Consult a book about Jean Harlow and find how she almost lost her eyesight because of them. Nelson had a coloring different from the traditional tall, dark leading man, and you know darn good and well that La Jeanette was NOT about to sacrifice HER lighting for some actor. Hell, look at Gene, in Smilin Through. Your argument? Invalid.
