There were several milestone releases for the 80th anniversary in 2018. As well as the 80th Year boxed set full of prizes,[1] issue 3945 was guest edited by actor-turned children's author David Walliams and had a large crossover story about Bash Street School opening the Beanotown's 1938 time capsule and discovering a map, which leads to robots and a giant tentacle monster breaking out to attack the residents. There was also a flashback panel of the time capsule being sealed which featured a handful of comic strip characters from the first issue, later helping the present day characters discover how to defeat the tentacle monster, named Simon.

Classic comics also returned in a three-panel format in issues, mostly starring Big Eggo, Biffo the Bear and two special holiday books were published: a summer special and a Christmas special. Meanwhile, the 2019 annual included a double-page inner front and back cover full of 255 characters that have appeared over the comic's publications.

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Storylines involved crime-fighting and/or rescue missions.

Jumbo briefly turned evil during The Beano Annual 2008 in the three-part Billy the Cat story "The General," written by Kev F Sutherland and drawn by . In part 2 of the story, it was revealed that he is under mind control. His controller is Private Pike, one of Jumbo's soldiers, who has gained sentience through an experimental learning chip and had built an electronic mind-control device into his controller unit. Billy uses the device against Pike, who is seemingly killed when he is subjected to the device's electronic feedback. Jumbo makes him "safe" by stamping on him, after which Billy suggests they could have just taken his batteries out. Pike survives, however, as his eyes are seen glowing red once more in the last panel.

In the 2009 Annual, Private Pike returns in a General Jumbo story that is not a crossover (although again written by Sutherland). He is now housed in the body of a teddy bear and leading a revolution of broken and discarded toys, also equipped with copies of Pike's "learning chip." Jumbo is better prepared this time and successfully disables his captors before they can carry out their plot to discredit him in the eyes of the public at a He unmasks Pike by alertly spotting that every other toy in the creche is being played with, and puts paid to the nuisance for what should prove to be the last time.

Changes over the years

[edit]

Barry Glennard took over the strip in 1993-ish to ease the workload of David Sutherland. Although most cameo characters were drawn in his style, Gnasher and Gnipper were drawn in a very similar style to Sutherland. However, in early 2001, Gnasher and Gnipper were revamped in their strip. They were given a more Glennard-type style, and their fur became bouncy and fluffy. This was because David Sutherland was no longer drawing Dennis, although he had stopped a couple of years earlier. In later years, Dennis' dad is back to normal, while sometime in 2002, his head had become round. In 2009, Gnasher had a slight makeover in which his legs are tan coloured, slightly wider and have no wrinkles. In July 2011, Gnasher was turned into a cat after Dennis watched a Harry Potter film and was inspired to perform magic tricks, although Gnasher's Bit(e) appeared as normal during this two-week story arc.

Dunne would later write, "No triumph of either my stage or screen career has ever rivalled the excitement of trips down the Mississippi on the riverboats with my father." Dunne was raised as a devout Roman Catholic.[3] Nicknamed "Dunnie" by her school friends,[4]

On July 16, 1927, Dunne married Francis Griffin, a New York dentist,[5] whom she had met in 1924 at a supper dance in New York. Despite differing opinions and battles that raged furiously,[6] Dunne eventually agreed to marry him. Dunne later moved to Hollywood with her mother and brother and maintained a long-distance marriage with her husband in New York until he joined her in California in 1936.[7]


Occasionally, her movies had given her characters opportunities to sing to an audience, and she also starred in Stingaree and The Great Lover (1931)[8] as opera singers. "the (usually superior) originals [are] hidden away in studio vaults to avoid odious comparisons."[9] Remakes of Dunne's work include Anna and the King of Siam (remade as The King and I ten years later),

Dunne's well-known films are notably The Awful Truth, Penny Serenade and Roberta


Pickens also points out that "so many of her films were remade into large budget films in the 1950s after she ended her film career", such as  — the latter an Astaire/Rogers film[10] ("more a vehicle for the dancing pair, than anything else"), and the other three co-starring Cary Grant; all three actors ranked in AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Stars (males: Grant, #2; Astaire, #5; Rogers, #14 female).[11]

After MacDonald suffered a miscarriage during the filming of Sweethearts,[13] In 1954, Eddy had invested in 1944's Knickerbocker Holiday, and had lost money. By the summer of 1960, MacDonald was seriously ill and her autobiography collaborator, Fredda Dudley Balling, wrote that whether she would live long enough to finish the book was uncertain.[14] Besides her heart problems, MacDonald suffered from a benign, inoperable brain tumor.[15]

personal life - youngest in family - seen as special child. (oldest sister Elsie 1893 [page 6]-1970[page 333]; Blossom 1895-1978[page 333] - lucky number 13 - allergies - didn't endorse lip-syncing - had a nephew and a great-niece - Twin Gables - sociable: friends, wedding guests

When MacDonald was born, her father quickly doted on her.[16] Although he had hoped for a son to pursue "an American dream" life that he believed he had failed to do himself, he advised his three daughters this instead.[16] MacDonald was the only daughter in the family that had inherited both her father's red hair and blue-green eyes.[17] Her eldest sister Elsie (1893[16]—1970[18]) played the piano and taught the toddler a variety of popular waltzes and Stephen Foster's composes.[19] At this time, MacDonald discovered that she was an extrovert who enjoyed socializing with friends and performing for others, admitting that "[I] needed people to watch and applaud me as much as I needed food and drink."[20] At the end of her first performance in the local church as a child, "I paused ever so slightly and then, when I realized they needed prodding, I promptly began clapping my hands and said to the congregation, 'Now everybody's got to clap!'"[19] In Hollywood, some of MacDonald's closest friends were Norma Shearer, Irene Dunne, Dolores del Rio, Lew Ayres, Ginger Rogers, Fay Wray, and Harold Lloyd; a few of them were bridesmaids or groomsmen at her wedding.[21][22] She was also lifelong friends with vocal coach Grace Adele Newell[23] and contralto Emily Wentz.[24] She held house parties for a variety of occasions, whether for herself, Raymond, or her family and friends, and was frequently invited to Hollywood's best parties as well.[25]

MacDonald cited the number thirteen as her lucky number.[26] Her characters always had a name beginning with M, the first letter of her surname and the 13th letter of the English alphabet, which she had insisted.[26] Interestingly, thirteen became a recurring number throughout her life, such as the thirteen-year gap between her overseas tours in Europe;[27] principal photography for The Merry Widow had taken thirteen weeks to film;[26] her first movie, The Love Parade, was the number one box-office draw for 13 weeks;[28] MacDonald performed opera for the first time for a screen test thirteen years after meeting Newell (who was also on set);[29] the thirteen-year gap between her and sister Blossom's death;[18] and husband Gene Raymond's birthday was August 13.[30]

On sets, MacDonald would never lip-sync and sang along to song playbacks during filming, which Lew Ayres discovered when he starred alongside her in Broadway Serenade and was supplied with earplugs after the volume was making him nauseous.[31] She studied French[32] and Spanish,[33] and had horse-riding lessons.[32]

A common issue throughout MacDonald's career was her health. Ironically, she suffered from stage fright throughout her life to the point of her therapist telling her to imagine the audience as lettuces.[34] She also got carsick,[35] airsick,[36] had blackout spells[37] and fainted,[38] had numerous allergies that could make her face puffy,[35] became stressed to the point of not being able to eat,[29] and was frequently in and out of hospitals and trying different treatments (one being massage therapy),[39] which only worked for a limited time; a few years before her death, MacDonald became a Religious Scientist.[40] Illnesses would not allow her to have early morning filming shoots, much to colleagues' annoyance.[41]

MacDonald was a Republican but mostly never involved herself in politics. When approached by HUAC about whether she had any gossip about Communist activity in Hollywood, she replied, "As at any focal point, there are some belligerents, but they are no more numerous than in any other community."[42] Neither she nor Gene Raymond ever considered or were subpoenaed for a hearing.[43] She fired her manager Charles Wagner for anti-Semitic abuse towards her Jewish friend Constance Hope[44] and declared during the 1940 presidential election, "I sing for Democrats and Republicans, black and white, everyone, and I just can't talk politics."[45]

MacDonald met Jack Ohmeis (died 1967[46]) at a party during her appearance in Tangerine.[47] He was an architect student at New York University and the son of a successful bottle manufacturer.[47] His family were hesitant about the relationship, assuming that MacDonald was a gold-digger, but they accepted her after they met.[48] She and Ohmeis became engaged a year later[49] but their future plans and aspirations forced them to go their separate ways,[49] as well as the sudden death of MacDonald's father.[50] Unfortunately, the Ohmeis family would lose a lot of fortune after the Wall Street Crash so MacDonald loaned money to Jack and he would repay her as soon as he could, which would last into the 1950s.[48] MacDonald next dated Irving Stone from around 1926–28; they apparently met when she was touring in Chicago in Yes, Yes, Yvette.[51] Stone, who lived in Milwaukee, was the nephew of the founder of the Boston Store and worked in the family business. Few details were known of Stone's romance with MacDonald until the discovery of hundreds of pages of handwritten love letters she wrote to him that were found in his apartment after his death.

MacDonald later dated a Wall Street rep named Robert Ritchie (died 1972[18]), 12 years her senior,[52] who claimed that he was the son of a fallen millionaire.[53] The two of them traveled with MacDonald's family to Hollywood and he became a press agent for MGM. Rumors circulated that the two of them were engaged and/or secretly married,[54] since Ritchie was by MacDonald's side during her European tour and they lived together[33] — MacDonald even signed her return address as "JAR" (Jeanette Anna Ritchie)[54] and referred to him as her "darling husband".[54] Despite his family claiming that he was married to MacDonald but it was annulled in 1935,[54] Ritchie never confirmed.[54] He was later relocated to Europe as an MGM representative, becoming responsible for recruiting Greer Garson, Hedy Lamarr and Luise Rainer.[55]

MacDonald married Gene Raymond in 1937.[21] She met him at a Hollywood party two years earlier at Roszika Dolly's home;[56] MacDonald agreed to a date, as long as it was at her family's dinner table.[56] Despite the strong relationship, Raymond's mother did not like MacDonald, attempting to snub her a few times (such as arranging her son with Janet Gaynor as a plus one at a charity ball),[57] and did not attend the wedding.[21] The Raymonds lived in a 21-room Mock Tudor mansion named Twin Gables with their pet dogs and their horse White Lady, which Raymond gave to MacDonald as a birthday present;[58] after MacDonald's death, it was briefly owned by John Phillips and Michelle Phillips from The Mamas and Papas.[46] MacDonald often worried about her husband's self-esteem; his acting career was constantly shaky and RKO Pictures eventually sold out his contract when he had two movies left to make with them in the 1950s.[59] Although she appreciated his support, MacDonald wished that their success was equal.[60] Raymond was sometimes mistaken for Nelson Eddy by MacDonald's fans and passersby, which MacDonald later admitted that she never liked either: "Of course we always laughed it off—sometimes Gene even obliged by signing Nelson's name—but no one will ever know the agonies I suffered on such occasions. More than anything else in the world those days, I wanted to see him receive as much acclaim as I, to spare him these humiliations."[60] When she reunited with Chevalier in 1957, he asked her why she had retired from films, to which she replied, "Because for exactly twenty years I've played my best role, by his [Raymond] side. And I'm perfectly happy."[61]

International Fan Club A fan club in MacDonald's honor was created. In 1962, it celebrated 25 years and the Raymonds held a dinner party with members at Twin Gables.[62] There, MacDonald nominated Clara Rhodes, editor of the Fan Club newsletter, as president, and nicknamed the grouping a "Clan Clave", jokingly declaring them as her new "extended family".[62] The group also had lunch at MGM studios and watched Smilin' Through on the big screen, a similar treat that the Club would have annually until 1987.[37] Rhoades became close friends with MacDonald[62] and Raymond, and was president of the club until her death in 2011.[63] MacDonald admired the group's dedication, telling a reporter, "It's really quite amazing. You don't see [their] kind of loyalty very often."[37] After her death, Raymond begged the Club to stay together,[64] as the Club continues into the present, following MacDonald's wishes to help the needed, such as charity work.[64] In 1981, Raymond took a Clave to a banquet at Beverly Hilton for the 44th anniversary of the Club; Variety reported that the Club at the time had 1800 members.[37]


Personal life

[edit]

MacDonald had five documented serious romances. The first was wealthy NYU student Jack Ohmeis, whom she dated from 1922 until 1927. They became engaged in 1926, but his family objected to his marrying an actress. Ironically, the Ohmeis family fortunes were lost in the 1929 stock-market crash and MacDonald later lent money to Jack Ohmeis.[65]

MacDonald next dated Irving Stone from around 1926–28; they apparently met when she was touring in Chicago in Yes, Yes, Yvette.[65] Stone, who lived in Milwaukee, was the nephew of the founder of the Boston Store and worked in the family business. Few details were known of Stone's romance with MacDonald until the discovery of hundreds of pages of handwritten love letters she wrote to him that were found in his apartment after his death.

In 1928, Robert George Ritchie became MacDonald's manager and fiancé. They were together until 1935, and presumed by many to be married. MacDonald dared anyone to prove it. However, MacDonald wrote Ritchie a letter in July 1929 calling him "my own darling husband" and on the envelope she gave her return address initials as "JAR" (Jeanette Anna Ritchie).[66] On March 29, 1931, MacDonald wrote to Irving Stone that she was engaged to Ritchie,[67] and on July 8, 1931, she wrote to him again from Europe, "I didn't get married on June 9."[68] Ritchie's nephew and the remaining family claimed that a Ritchie-MacDonald marriage was annulled, possibly in Hawaii, in 1935. If so, details have never come to light. However, MacDonald was photographed in Hawaii just prior to the release of Naughty Marietta (1935).

The Bob Ritchie romance began to sour when MacDonald became friendly with Nelson Eddy in late 1933. In January 1934, the trades announced they would be co-starring in Naughty Marietta.[69] They dated on and off throughout 1934, but after MacDonald's 1935 Hawaii trip, Eddy became more persistent in his marriage proposals.[citation needed] The problem was that Eddy wanted her to retire and raise their children; MacDonald preferred to put her career first.[citation needed] They fought constantly over this and broke up in early June 1935.[citation needed]

Later that month, MacDonald met the actor Gene Raymond at a party and began dating him. Blond Raymond resembled Eddy, and the two men were sometimes mistaken for each other when seen publicly with MacDonald.[70] During summer 1935, MacDonald rekindled the relationship with Eddy when they began filming Rose Marie. MacDonald later called it "the happiest summer of my life".[71][72]

On June 16, 1937, MacDonald married Gene Raymond in a traditional ceremony at Wilshire Methodist Church in Los Angeles. They remained married until MacDonald's death. Raymond was also a songwriter, and MacDonald introduced two of his songs in her concerts. In addition to the TV pilot Prima Donna that Raymond wrote for her, they also did a few radio shows together and toured in The Guardsman on stage. With their infrequent attempts to work together, including the film Smilin' Through, the public was indifferent to them as a team as evidenced by only fair box-office receipts. According to published books, including Sweethearts by Sharon Rich and The Golden Girls of MGM by Jane Ellen Wayne, Gene Raymond engaged in numerous affairs with men and their marriage was problematic. MacDonald addressed this issue in her unpublished autobiography (now published in a facsimile edition; see Controversy section) and mentioned several separations and marital problems. After her death, Raymond and his friends (including the MacDonald fan club, which remained associated with Raymond until his death) disputed these claims.

Nelson Eddy attempted a reconciliation with MacDonald in 1938, but again had interference from Louis B. Mayer, who felt that divorce might harm MacDonald's saintly image with her fans. Eddy eloped to Las Vegas with Ann Franklin in January 1939. His marriage also lasted until his death.

MacDonald was a practicing Christian Scientist[73] and a Republican.[74][75]


MacDonald suffered from heart trouble in her later years. Her condition worsened in 1963 and she underwent an arterial transplant at Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. She had been assigned to play the role of the Mother Abbess in the film version of The Sound of Music, but she died before she could fulfill this commitment (the role went to Peggy Wood).

Nelson Eddy, in Australia on a nightclub tour, pleaded illness and returned to the United States at word of MacDonald's surgery. After the operation, she developed pleurisy and was hospitalized for two-and-a-half months. Her friends kept the news from the press until just before her release. Her house was sold and she moved into a Los Angeles apartment that would not require so much of her energies. Her husband moved into an adjoining apartment. Eddy took his own apartment in the opposite building.[76]

MacDonald was again stricken in 1964. Nelson Eddy was with her when she was admitted to UCLA Medical Center, where on Christmas Eve, she was operated on for abdominal adhesions. She was able to go home for New Year's, but in mid-January, she was flown back to Houston by husband Raymond. It was hoped that pioneer heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, who had recently operated successfully on the Duke of Windsor, could perform the same procedure for her.

She checked in on January 12, and a program of intravenous feedings was begun to build her up for possible surgery. MacDonald died two days later, aged 61, on January 14 at 4:32 pm, with her husband at her bedside. According to press reports, MacDonald's last words to Raymond while he massaged her feet were "I love you". He replied "I love you, too"; she smiled and died.

MacDonald was interred on January 18, 1965, in a crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, which reads "Jeanette MacDonald Raymond". Nelson Eddy, who told Jack Paar on The Tonight Show, "I love her [MacDonald]", broke down when interviewed by the press the evening of her death. He survived MacDonald by two years.

Almost a decade after MacDonald's death, in 1974, Gene Raymond remarried. His second wife, a Canadian heiress, was the former Mrs. Bentley Hees. Raymond died on May 3, 1998.[77]

Autobiography

[edit]

MacDonald began developing an autobiography in the 1950s but one would never come to be. The ghostwriters she hired attempted to twist her words into sensationalized drama, but she wanted her readers to both be inspired by her career and understand how she had coped with balancing a public and personal life.[78] Eventually, she wrote a manuscript solo but it was rejected by the publisher for being "too genteel";[79] MacDonald refused to include any scandalous sex life gossip, and despite editing further she never resent her final draft.[79] Raymond donated the manuscript, photos and editing notes to her fan club after her death.[80]

Relationship with Nelson Eddy

[edit]

The MacDonald/Eddy film partnership lasted eight movies, but they are the most well-known of both actors' careers, even by their respective fans.[81] The pairing led to assumptions that the two actors were acting out real life, but they both denied. Despite MacDonald admitting in her autobiography notes, "I remember seeing Nelson for the first time and thinking he fulfilled most of my requirements in a man: he was tall, blond [and] good-looking",[82] she had appeared in a 1935 Hollywood magazine interview (cheekily titled "So I'm in Love with Nelson Eddy!")[83] to reveal that she and Eddy were amused by all of the attention,[56] adding, "Just because two people play love scenes on the screen is not an indication that they are in love."[56] Eddy also scoffed at the audience reaction, particularly after marrying Ann Denitz, the ex-wife of Sidney Franklin, although he had often wondered how life would have turned out if he and MacDonald had been a real-life couple.[46] Apparently, even their mothers were talking about how well the two of them were getting on after their first movie; MacDonald theorized that Mrs. Eddy and Mrs. McDonald were daydreaming about their son and daughter being romantically involved, or even married, whenever they played card games together.[84] She and Eddy were mostly friends, often set up together on dates by MGM to create gossip, and bonded over their histories and careers, and even gave each other presents.[84] "The truth of the matter was that whatever attraction Nelson and I might have had for each other was interrupted before it ever got started," MacDonald wrote; "Another man appeared: a tall, handsome, fun-loving fellow who fitted exactly my prescription for what a man should amount to."[56] In an interview with James Reid, Eddy gushed his endorsement of his co-star's relationship with Gene Raymond: "'Gene is a lucky guy!!' That’s what I told Jeanette MacDonald when she told me what I had known for months — that she was going to marry Gene Raymond. [...] If you know Hollywood, and how jealous most stars guard their stardom and try to thwart any competition, you can appreciate, as I do, what an unselfish person Jeanette MacDonald is. And how lucky Gene Raymond is, to win such a life-time partner."[85] As well as performing at the Raymonds' wedding, Eddy and his new wife Ann were also invited to the newlyweds' house parties, such as the Raymonds' seven-year wedding anniversary celebrations.[86]

However, the friendship was said to been strained when MacDonald wanted Allan Jones to star with her in The Girl of the Golden West.[87] Mayer and Eddy were adamantly against his involvement which changed the tone of backstage; cinematographer Charles Schoenbaum believed it to be an icy jealousy over wanting to out-fame the other, according to his daughter,[88] and Bob Wright blamed Eddy for acting difficult over his salary.[88] Coincidentally, The Girl of the Golden West received mixed reactions from everyone but their fans.[89] Sound engineer John Kenneth Hilliard disagreed in a 1981 interview, claiming that the off-camera animosity between Eddy and MacDonald had always been there: "As you know, Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald were a screen couple and everybody thought they were lovers. Actually, they hated each other with a vengeance."[90] Regardless, Eddy was forever grateful to MacDonald for their screen pairing boosting his career: "The world has done me the honor to associate my name with hers," he said after her funeral.[46]

Biographer Sharon Rich, who was volunteering in the Motion Picture County Home in the 1970s,[91] discovered through her friendship with MacDonald's sister Blossom Rock[91] that MacDonald and Eddy's relationship was stronger than friendly, alleging that they had dated on-and-off for thirty years during their respective marriages until MacDonald's death,[92] but Mayer had forced them to keep apart. Her findings also alleged that Eddy had had a son with Philadelphian contralto Maybelle Marston,[92] and that MacDonald and Raymond's marriage was full of physical and emotional abuse, and adultery, with Raymond being caught and arrested for having sexual activities with men around Hollywood, forcing MacDonald to be his beard[93] (another biographer alleged that Eddy confronted Raymond, which led to him severely attacking Raymond and leaving him for dead, which was disguised in the newspapers as Raymond recovering from falling down the stairs[94]). From letters and diaries, and interviewing roughly 200 people,[92] (including several members of Hollywood's studios who had worked for/with the pair) some claimed that they had seen MacDonald and Eddy being suspiciously close at parties or off-camera.[95][96][97] Rich had also reported that MacDonald was pregnant with Eddy's child during the filming of Sweethearts but Mayer adamantly refused to allow the two actors to annul their marriages and elope, the situation ending with MacDonald miscarrying.[98]

Both MacDonald's fan club and Raymond firmly denied the allegations,[80] as well as Edward Baron Turk, the author of MacDonald's biography Hollywood Diva, referring to it as "absolutely false and preposterous".[92] According to Club president Rhoades and co-president Tessa Williams, Raymond had intended to sue for slander and libel three times but was advised against it by attorneys: "Through their wise legal council, they pointed out that by doing so would only bring notoriety to the book. Thus he didn't[.]"[80] They also argued that Blossom Rock would not have been involved or even interacted with the making of any biographies because she had had a stroke in 1966 (soon after the end of The Addams Family) leading to being diagnosed with aphasia.[80][18] Rich rebutted that she had only interviewed personnel that had worked with the pair and not delusional fans that had invented stories;[92] Blossom Rock's only involvement was that she had inspired Rich to write a biography on her sister because one did not exist at the time: "I started talking to Blossom and she said, 'Nobody's done a book on my sister! Why not her?'".[91] Meanwhile, Eleanor Knowles (author of The Films of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy) disagreed that Eddy had a disowned son (who Rich had interviewed): "[The alleged son has] given so many different versions, and so many different birth dates[.] He bore some resemblance to Nelson and he was a singer, and I could only assume so many people said, 'You look like Nelson Eddy,' that he thought it would be a plus professionally to call himself Eddy."[92] Eddy's half-sister revealed that her father had told her that Eddy had involuntarily been given "a vasectomy" after a tree-climbing accident as a child: "Nelson adored my kids and once told my parents that I had done the one thing he could never do—have children."[84]

MacDonald died at the UCLA Medical Center from heart failure on January 14, 1965 with Raymond by her hospital bed.[99] Two years before, she had been assigned Dr. Michael DeBakey, who had recently operated successfully on the Duke of Windsor, in a hope that he could save her.[62] Despite the surgery, MacDonald became ill with pleurisy the week after and was in Houston's Methodist Hospital for over a month.[37] In December 1964, her condition worsened and she was rushed to UCLA.[100] DeBakery suggested open-heart surgery and Raymond brought MacDonald into the hospital January 12.[100] On the afternoon of the 14th, Raymond was at her bedside massaging her feet when she died. He said that their last conversation was when MacDonald said, "I love you," and he replied, "I love you too;" she then sighed deeply and her head dropped.[99]

The funeral took place on the 18th.[101] Along with close family and widower Raymond, it was notably attended by a handful of MacDonald's costars (such as Eddy, Allan Jones, Chevalier, Joe E. Brown, Spencer Tracy, Lloyd Nolan, etc.), representatives of her Fan Club, former presidents Truman and Eisenhower, Senator George Murphy, former vice-president Richard Nixon, Reagan, and Mary Pickford; Dr. Gene Emmet Clark of the Church of Religious Science officiated.[101] MacDonald was interred in a pink-marbled crypt[102] at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, which reads "Jeanette MacDonald Raymond". Hers is next to Nat King Cole, George Burns and Gracie Allen.[102]

American actress/singer Jeanette MacDonald (1903 – 1965) recorded over 90 songs during her film career for RCA Victor and its foreign counterparts. Due to the limited statistics released to the public, it is not certain how many songs and singles she has released or their exact popularity in music charts, although she has officially recorded seven studio albums (five LPs) and released seven compilation albums.[103] Despite soundtracks for musical films not becoming a concept until the 1940s,[104] many of her singles were re-recordings of songs she had performed in the movies (a common practice other musical actors did at the time);[104] her first "album" was the single "Dream Lover"/"March of the Grenadiers" (1930) on 78 rpm discs for The Love Parade.[104] She also recorded a cover album of songs featured in Sigmund Romberg's Up in Central Park in 1945 with Robert Merrill,[104] as well as non-English records during her 1931 European tour.

MacDonald performed in musicals alongside Maurice Chevalier, Allan Jones, and Nelson Eddy, although her films with Eddy are the most well-known today. The single "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life"/"Indian Love Call" from Rose Marie (1936) received a gold record from RCA Red Seal. Her other popular (and/or well-remembered) singles were "Beyond the Blue Horizon", "San Fransisco", and "Ave Maria". "Beyond the Blue Horizon" peaked at #9 in the charts[105] and became MacDonald's signature song; she performed it professionally three times in her career.[106][107][108]

MacDonald's first studio album was Religious Songs (1945), followed by Operetta Favorites (1946).[104] Her first LP was Romantic Moments (1950), followed by Favorites, Favorites in Hi-Fi (1959), Smilin' Through (1960) and Jeanette MacDonald Sings Songs of Faith and Inspiration (1963).[103] Seven official compilation albums were released, such as Jeanette MacDonald 1929–1939 and A Tribute to Jeanette MacDonald volumes 1 and 2, but due to the varying copyrights on audio worldwide, unofficial albums in MacDonald's name have been released on CDs in European countries under public domain.[104]
