An Invitation to Join
The Jeanette MacDonald
International Fan Club
Jeanette MacDonald, America's lovely lady of
song, had delighted millions the world over, and she remains as
well-beloved today as she was during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Now, as then, she has the ability to touch the hearts of those who hear
her sing.
Begun in 1937 (and sanctioned by Jeanette
MacDonald herself), the Jeanette MacDonald International Fan Club is one
of the oldest and most active fan clubs in the world. Our most
famous member, Jeanette MacDonald, served as Honorary President until her
death in 1965. That honor was then assumed by her husband, Gene
Raymond.
As befits the lovely woman we honor, our Club
is based upon, respect, truth and decency--we offer the facts, not a
fictionalized account of her life and career. Our members, who number in
the many hundreds worldwide, are all ages and from all walks of life.
Some have been members since 1937, while others have only recently
discovered the special magic of Jeanette MacDonald. As members meet
and correspond, we find we share many other common interests--and the
friendships formed are rewarding and long-lasting.
Members of today's JMIFC strive to keep Miss
Macdonald's star shining brightly through the study and enjoyment of her
life and career. The JMIFC offers photos, tapes, records, books and other
information. Our award-winning Club publication, The Golden Comet,
is a 50-page issue and is supplemented by an abbreviated version, La
Petite Comet. These publications, which include approximately 20-24
pages of beautiful and rare photographs, are primarily dedicated to the
study of Miss MacDonald's fabulous career.
Jeanette MacDonald loved her fans and
treasured their loyalty, and many fans became personal friends over the
years. Club members were always welcomed backstage and greeted
warmly my Miss MacDonald after her concert and stage appearances.
The indelible impression she has left upon all of us remains as bright as
her sparkling eyes and as warm as her beautiful smile. The Jeanette
MacDonald International Fan Club is proud to honor this exceptional
performer and fine human being. Won't you join the "Clan"--as
Jeanette liked to call us?
