SWEETHEARTS : NELSON EDDY and JEANETTE MACDONALD
Posted by Channel Jeffer Soares
this is what Jeff has to say: Sweethearts is a 1938 Technicolor musical romance... The screenplay by Dorothy Parker and Alan Campbell, uses the 'play within a play" device... This was the first color film for Nelson of Jeanette.

MUSING ABOUT MISTRESSMANIFESTO.BLOGSPOT.COM
Good Morning My Faithful Readers, wherever you are - The Phillipines? Russia? Argentina? I've been thinking about YOU, because I check to see where my readers are coming from and sometimes I think "What must it be to be a Mistress in a whole different culture, one that may be more conservative right now, or maybe one that has more newly wealthy entrepreneurs, like Russia does.
For this blog I write about people, mostly women in heterosexual relationships though we know that being kept is not exclusive to women or heterosexuals, I write about people who have become famous or infamous, because it's not my thing to out people who live private lives, and I seek to define Mistress since it's clear that you do not have to be single yourself, involved with an officially married person (what in this age when so many couples do not officially marry and homosexuals are fighting for the right to be married!), or actually be an adulterer to be a Mistress.
That's one of the reasons I'm AMUSED at times CONFUSED at other times by the use of the word MISTRESS in the media. First, even the world COURTESAN has meant different things in different cultures, from being a high class prostitute to simply a woman who is highly accomplished in the arts. Secondly, and I think unfortunaltey, the word Mistres brings up many web sites that are clearly playing on the Sadio-Masocistic aspect of relationships in which a woman, often a prostitute, plays up her domination. Not sure where this started but I think "English boarding schools!" third, the press seems to use the word Mistress for any woman who has simply had an affair with a man of newsworthyness, say a celebracty or a politiocian. So many people are having AFFAIRS today that I back away from the use of Mistress to mean women who are having affairs. Certainly women who go on booty calls are not mistresses, they're simply free spirits at this time in their lives. Then there are the common stereotyupes, and as with all stereotypes maybe there's some truth to them. The stereotyle is an adultress, a "home - wrecker," who tears apart a marriage, or a woman who is simply addicted to the challenge of getting and keeping a man who another woman has claims to. Contrast that with the fact that in some cases,historically and now, there are Mistresses who actually help another woman keep her marriage together. Yes, some wifes and mistresses know of each other and have boundaries but actually are friends! Why is this so surprising at a time when we have come through the "Love The One You're With" Summer of Love, 1960's, and know that some people have chosen to live in polygamous and other relationships peopled by 3 or more?

2013 YEAR IN REVIEW : THE POSTS MY READERS ARE READING
(I decided to review 2013 based on the information that Google Blogger provides about MISTRESS MANIFESTO BLOGSPOT! Thanks to all my readers who make this a very successful blog!)
I want to tell you what the most popular posts have been and where readers are coming from!
Now, this doesn't mean that I'm overly swayed by what statistics have been. I would probably go on posting even if I had very little readership because this is fun for me.
I know that Mistresses are a fascinating subject. That's why there are so many books, movies, and television shows about Mistresses! Fiction and Not!
Karin Stanford, who had a relationship and child with Jesse Jackson Senior, is the once-upon-a-time mistress who is still getting the most hits! She is a successful college professor with a career of her own. I have no idea why!
Closely followed by a simple post called "Bob Hope's Girlfriends! That tells me that I better dedicate a whole month to that subject. (I've heard a lot about one of them, but you know there is a difference between a girlfriend, an affair, a fling, and a Mistress!)
Scott Thorson, the ex of Liberace who wrote his memoir about being a Kept Man that has been turned into a respected movie called "Behind the Candelabra" is also of very much interest to my readers! (I'm one of those people who has been rooting for Scott, and hoping he can overcome his addictions and win his bout with cancer too! He's had a hard life. My wish for him is peace of mind.)
Coco Chanel is also a long-time favorite! I think that's in part because she managed to create a whole fashion house though coming from such adversity and changed women's fashion to something more comfortable and modern.
Where are my readers reading from?
The United States overwhelmingly so. The United Kingdom, Russia, and Germany are next, closely tied are Canada and France. (I wish I knew if that was French Canada or not!) Latvia, for a small country, has checked in almost as much as Australia. Maybe I better find out where all the Mistresses are hiding in that country! Denmark and Italy are less interested than I would imagine but still checking in quite a bit!
A few individuals are checking in from Qatar, Japan, and Singapore. Maybe it's the write-ups I did on Jillian Lauren or Marilyn Young?
