Jeanette MacDonald On the Air, Volume 1 (hardback)

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.
