Eddy, Nelson

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Eddy, Nelson (1901–1967)

US baritone and film actor. Early concert tours brought a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. and he made a series of operetta-like films with Jeanette MacDonald. Films such as Rose Marie (1936) made the couple extremely popular and they became known as ‘America's Sweethearts’.

He was born in Providence, Rhode Island. After working at various jobs, he won a contest to sing with the Philadelphia Civic Opera. This landed him a concert tour and radio appearances in the early 1930s. After his last film with MacDonald, I Married an Angel (1942), his career faltered, although he continued to tour and sing.
