Baby, there's no other superstar...

NEWSFLASH! OMG, I have THE MOST compromising photo of Jeanette macking on a certain blonde male costar EVER! I think this is the most compelling evidence I've ever seen!
Just jump already!


Look at their faces all smashed together like they enjoy each other's company or something. And to think, all those "historians" out there would have you believe that they didn't even like each other, when we have this single set of pictures as our basis for ever daring to dream otherwise.
God, I'm obnoxious when I'm perturbed. :) ENJOY! Or, as Norma Shearer once screamed at Robert Taylor, "SQUIRM!"
I've obviously lost touch with that whole peaceful vibe I had going there for a while.

The Diva Of Our Lives

Much speculation is made about the way Jeanette basically, well... puts her hands places on certain costars. Especially about a picture from the set of Smilin Through. Yeah, I know, we said no drama, but I really think I need to break down this picture into a diagram of sorts. Mostly I just wanted to circle things in red and act like I'm important. Shake down (1979) after the jump!



Oh yeah, they were doing it. Just ask the question at JimmyStewartTalk.com!

I learned something today!

Maybe this is old knowledge, and I'm just late on the boat here (that happens often), but in flipping through a book about The Wizard of Oz at Barnes & Noble this evening, I found out that Glinda's dress was actually created by Adrian for Jeanette in San Francisco. WHAT. WHAT. They basically took it and bedazzled the crap out of it, for Glinda. I feel that I fail at being me for not knowing that, because even though I'm a relatively new Jeanette fan I've been a huge Wizard of Oz fan pretty much my whole life.
Dress pictures after the jump!

Louise Morgan!

Because sometimes you just need one.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from the Jeanette MacDonald Blog!
I KNOW I've seen a photo somewhere of Jeanette and Gene in costume for a party of some sort, and I would gladly post if only I could find it... and of course, I can't. But I know it exists. I'm also pretty sure Kayla once told me that Jeanette used one of Norma Shearer's costumes from Marie Antoinette for Halloween once. That trumps basically any costume I could ever come up with.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Yeah, that would be Jeanette & Gene & Judy. WHOA WHOA WHOA.
This photo was made known to us at the same time as the photo Kayla posted a few days ago of Jeanette & Judy & Kathryn Grayson & person we have now identified as Susannah Foster, which is also incredible. I really freaked out (in a good way) when I first saw these pictures and it got me thinking about why it is we get so excited when we find photos of our favorite people all hanging out together. Obviously, duh, because we're fangirls (and boys). But it's... it's kind of more than that. At least for me, it repeatedly blows my mind when I think about all these supremely talented people existing together. What did those conversations consist of? Like, what are Jeanette and Judy laughing about? (Probably something truly hilarious, since they were both very funny.) I guess we'll never know, but I sure am glad these pictures exist.
That's my food for thought for the day.

More random stuff from my old hard drive.

So this exists:


Notice how Howard is a.) sitting at her feet and b.) apparently fascinated by her every word.
AS HE SHOULD BE.
The End. :)
