Nelson Ackerman Eddy Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Nelson Ackerman Eddy (June 29, 1901 – March 6, 1967) was an American singer and actor who appeared in 19 musical films during the 1930s and 1940s, as well as in opera and on the concert stage, radio, television, and in nightclubs. A classically trained baritone, he is best remembered for the eight films in which he costarred with soprano Jeanette MacDonald. He was one of the first "crossover" stars, a superstar appealing both to shrieking bobby-soxers as well as opera purists, and in his heyday was the highest paid singer in the world.During his 40-year career, he earned three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (one each for film, recording, and radio), left his footprints in the wet cement at Grauman's Chinese Theater, earned three Gold records, and was invited to sing at the third inauguration of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941. He also introduced millions of young Americans to classical music and inspired many of them to pursue a musical career.

#	Quote
1	[His last words onstage as he was having a stroke that would prove fatal] Will you bear with me a minute. I can't seem to get the words out. [After asking his accompanist to play "Dardanella"] My face is getting numb. Is there a doctor here?
2	[To a reporter a couple of days prior to his death] I'll go on singing until I drop because I love it.
3	[About some of the films Eddy and MacDonald were offered in their later career] We've been asked to do what might be called B pictures. Rather than do that, we decided to leave it on a high note.
4	[About his career in 1934] I engaged a dramatic coach and began to study the technique of acting on the screen. That same day I discovered how little I really knew, and I've been studying ever since.
5	[Reacting to seeing himself in an elaborate costume and makeup onscreen] Get him. Ain't he purty?
6	[In 1957] I don't know why people still want to believe that Jeanette MacDonald and I were a couple off the set. There's no truth to that rumor, at all. She's happily married to Gene Raymond and I'm happily married to Anne. I guess people want to believe that what they see on the screen is reality while in actuality, it's just a movie!
7	[During his 1960s nightclub tour] I want to keep going until I drop.
8	[on why he refused to see his own films] I was too ashamed of them.

#	Fact
1	In 1963 Ross Hunter tried to entice MacDonald and Eddy back onto the screen as an aging married couple who find themselves suddenly about to have a baby. They declined.
2	When Eddy first went on tour ("hoping for $50 a concert and glad to get $25") in 1928, he hired Theodore Paxson, who remained Eddy's accompanist for four decades.
3	Studio head Louis B. Mayer hired singer Igor Gorin as a backup in case Eddy became temperamental, but he never did and Gorin never played a role intended for Eddy.
4	In the last years of his life, his work schedule didn't vary. He dropped his concerts and concentrated on his nightclub act, touring 40 weeks a year with pretty blonde Gale Sherwood as his singing partner.
5	In 1959 after 23 years "Indian Love Call" hit the million mark in sales.
6	Eddy appeared with MacDonald on Gordon MacRae's TV show in 1956. They each sang a solo and collaborated on a duet. Most critics agreed that her voice had faded. In 1957 and 1958 they collaborated on an album of their movie hits entitled "Favorites in Hi-Fi.".
7	He was a lifelong supporter of the Republican party.
8	At a MGM exhibitors sales convention in February 1949 it was announced that Metro would probably reunite Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald to star for producer Joe Pasternak in "His Excellency from Brazil." By the time the film was released the title had been changed to "Nancy Goes to Rio" and the parts were played by Ann Sothern and Barry Sullivan.
9	Plans to re-team Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald were announced by RKO in July 1945. Studio chief Charles Koerner was preparing a film version of the 1931 Sigmund Romberg & Oscar Hammerstein II stage musical "East Wind" to be filmed in Technicolor. Koerner's sudden death in February 1946 and the subsequent change in studio management ended the project.
10	Louis B. Mayer ordered Eddy to test for his debut in Broadway to Hollywood (1933). The 33-year old newcomer took a record 58 takes before the exasperated test director gave up. Despite this failure, Mayer overruled the general consensus of Eddy's acting talent and ordered him used for a singing sequence in the film only.
11	He was awarded 3 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Pictures at 6311 Hollywood Boulevard; for Radio at 6512 Hollywood Boulevard; and for Recording at 1639 Vine Street in Hollywood, California.
12	His duets with Jeanette MacDonald are lampooned in the musical "A Day In Hollywood/A Night In The Ukraine." In the show, a movie star named Jeanette sings the song, "Oh, Nelson, What You're Putting Me Through" -- an operatic lament about her boring co-star -- while standing with a mannequin dressed in a Canadian Mounties uniform.
13	Was portrayed by Mick Hucknall in De-Lovely (2004). In the movie, his portrayal was a cameo.
14	There is a street in Hollywood Forever cemetery now named for him.
15	He was an accomplished sculptor, and often crafted bronze statues of his co-stars and directors. The statue he made of Susanna Foster was used in her film Phantom of the Opera (1943).
16	Was a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a national music fraternity.
17	He had a stepson, Sidney Franklin Jr..
18	He had one child, Jon, with ex-girlfriend Maybelle Marston, born sometime in the early 1930s.
19	Distantly related to U.S. President Martin Van Buren.
20	Interred at Hollywood Memorial Cemetery (now called Hollywood Forever), Hollywood, California, USA, Section B, across the street from the Cathedral Mausoluem and a bit to the right.
21	Hosted his own weekly radio show in the 1950s
22	Suffered a fatal stroke while performing in concert.
