I got to meet Jeanette back in 1952 whenm her dear husband did "Petrified Forest" at the summer theatre I worked at...She was lovely...And so was Mr. Raymond!
Remember the film "ROSALIE"? I loved that one too.....Ahhhhhh, those were the sweet romantic days, weren't they?; 12:40 AM

OldLady Of The Hills said...: Gene Raymond was not Nelson Eddy's brother...At least, I never heard that! But Jeanette McD. and Gene Raymond were married a vrry long time....And when he did "PETRIFEIED FOREST" back in 1952 she was there most all of that week and they seemed very devoted to one another....In fact I have a picture of them in his Dressing Room....it is a very sweet picture...

You are funny about you and yiur dear MTL Singing those songs....As corny as it all seems now, it was really beautiful...And Jeanette and Nelson were So Damn Good together.....A Perfect Screen Couple....!; 10:19 AM

BTW, didn't these two used to star in RCMP movies?
