Actress/singer Jeanette MacDonald was best known for movies, records, and recitals; however, few realize that she also had a prolific radio career.  Jeanette MacDonald On the Air, Volume 1 details her appearances on variety and musical shows, dramas, adaptations of her films, interviews, and charitable programs.  Not only is there information about what she sang, lists of other guests, and behind-the-scenes photos, but many listings include reviews, trivia, and reports from fans who heard the programs or attended the rehearsals or broadcasts.  There also is data on erroneous and rumored credits, as well as radio tributes.

Maggie McCormick is the author of I’ll See You Again: The Bittersweet Love Story and Wartime Letters of Jeanette MacDonald and Gene Raymond, published by BearManor Media.  She has written extensively on the Golden Age of movies, theater, and dolls.
