The Lovers

They would be Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, the most popular movie singing duo of the 1930s, bar none.  You may find the title of this piece rather odd if you bought into the con job hatched by their boss, Louis B. Mayer of MGM, and circulated around Hollywood for decades that the pair, in fact, hated one another.  They not only didn't hate one another they were madly in love for as long as they knew one another.  What we were fed about them was one of the great Hollywood hoaxes.
