What have I posted? When did I post it? Does it matter at all? THE WORLD NEEDS JEANETTE. Remember that time that Jeanette yoinked Norma Shearer's Juliet gown for a costume party? Yup, friends, Jeanette was a "borrower" of dresses. I use the term "borrower" very loosely. ;)   read more

Does anyone else remember the old AOL fan site that had a sound clip that played over and over and over and over again? It was "Hello, boys and girls! This is Jeanette MacDonald." That drove me nuts. Anyway, what I'm actually here for is to apologize for my absence....   read more

Look at this. LOOK AT THIS PICTURE. You have one job, and it is to look at this fabulosity. See, I'm being very generous in sharing the hi-res of this because, as you know, I have a phobia of inciting bad fanfiction. I wonder what the technical term for that...   read more

So...... Pretty sure I accidentally killed poor Risë. You see, I have this recurring dream where... well, I'm not going to go into it, but I predict death. And Risë was in one of those dreams, last night. I know, I know, she died yesterday, but we didn't know until...   read more

I have wanted an 8x10 of this picture since Hollywood Diva came out, when I was 15. Now... 'tis mine. And yours! Because the Care Bears taught me that sharing is caring! The original OTP, Jeanette and Maurice Chevalier, who got wild, with their feet firmly planted on the floor,...   read more

So, I have yet to have anyone explain to me what they're seeing in these pictures that I'm not seeing. Anyone? Bueller? Throwing all caution to the wind, I ask again, "the hell?" OK, big deal, Nelson visited Jeanette's set. (Wasn't he already at MGM, working on the Chocolate Soldier...   read more

Oh, Jeanette and your Kentucky accent. Although I'm quite disappointed in the sound on the new-ish release of Girl Of The Golden West, from Warner Archive, I'll never not be tickled by that accent. In my head, there is a party where Irene Dunne and Jeanette sit around and regale...   read more

Why do people refuse to believe that Jeanette was an amazing actress? I'm constantly seeing these backhanded compliments, like "She was good, but she wasn't THAT GOOD" in reference to her chemistry with Nelson. Like, shut your mouths. She WAS that good. Jeanette Anna was an amazing actress, and shou   read more

Look at what handsome blonde actor has his arm around his own wife, and not Jeanette MacDonald.
