So writes Jeanette MacDonald in her unpublished autobiography. Read the fascinating story of Jeanette’s ill-fated autobiography plus the incomplete, unpolished edition dating from summer 1960. Written in collaboration with movie magazine writer Fredda Dudley Balling, the typewritten manuscript has Jeanette’s hand-written comments and corrections all over it. She crossed out certain sensitive passages and entire pages but the full manuscript is reproduced so that today’s reader can experience it uncensored.

How much did the beloved MGM singing star reveal? Did she tell the truth about her life? Her career? Her purported first marriage to Bob Ritchie? Her Hollywood marriage to Gene Raymond? Her romance with co-star Nelson Eddy? What did Fredda Balling think of their collaboration...and the final book? Why did Jeanette need a ghost writer and why was this mysterious book never published?
