At our last meeting, the guest speaker was Al Caizzia, Jeanette's co-star in the 1956 TV sitcom "Prima Donna." We are still lining up the program and guests for the June birthday bash.
For those of you that might be coming from out-of-town, if you are interesting in joining us for a driving tour of their homes on Saturday June 26, please note this in your comments when you purchase your tickets for the Sunday luncheon. This tour will driving by most of their homes in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, the beach house Nelson bought for his mother (and stayed at himself) and - Mists, the hideaway home Nelson had with Jeanette! There is no extra charge for Saturday's tour but we will need to coordinate with people and cars. After you get your tickets for the Sunday luncheon, you'll be provided you with all the details.
Update: Looks like we were the first to break this news early in the morning on a major website. Within a few hours of our posting this, an official statement was made and subsequently the news wires picked up the story.
I just received news that Kathryn Grayson passed away last night at age 88.
No formal announcement has been made yet and it isn't in the news yet. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 days before an official press release is announced; this was the case when Susanna Foster died. But I wanted to let everyone know.
Kathryn Grayson was a kind lady who in the early days of the club attended our Jeanette MacDonald Nelson Eddy club meetings in Los Angeles. Grayson was a fan of MacDonald's and also, when she first came to MGM she was supposed to co-star with Nelson Eddy in what would have been his final movie there, Lucky Star. In that movie Nelson would have played 2 roles and he had already read and made written notations on his script when he decided instead to buy out his contract and leave MGM.
More recently Kathryn Grayson attended the Nelson Eddy Drive ceremony at Hollywood Forever. She spoke afterward to the group there.You can see pictures of her at the dedication
ceremony at this link.
