Jeanette MacDonald, Hollywood Movie Star

Promotional photo of MacDonald, 1930s. Jeanette Anna MacDonald (June 18, 1903 - January 14, 1965) was an American singer and actress best remembered for her musical films of the 1930s with Maurice Chevalier and Nelson Eddy. She starred in 29 feature films, four nominated for Best Picture Oscars, and recorded extensively, earning three gold records. She later appeared in opera, concerts, radio, and television. MacDonald was one of the most influential sopranos of the 20th century, introducing opera to movie-going audiences and inspiring a generation of singers. When America joined WWII in 1941, MacDonald was one of the founders of the Army Emergency Relief and raised funds on concert tours. During her 39 year career, she earned two stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame (for films and recordings) and planted her feet in the wet cement in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater. She died in 1965, at the age of 61, with her husband at her bedside. According to press reports, her last words to Raymond were "I love you". He replied "I love you, too"; she smiled and succumbed. No photographer credited, circa 1930s.
