Mac/Eddy Today

Mac/Eddy Today is the collectible, glossy magazine devoted to the lives and careers of 1930s movie stars Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. Published since 1977 by the Mac/Eddy Club, Mac/Eddy Today has been called "The most beautiful magazine of its kind" by Elayne Blythe, founder of the Film Advisory Board. The People's Almanac #3 by David Wallechinsky and Irving Wallace featured Mac/Eddy Today as one of the country's most "unusual and specialized magazines." The photo-filled magazine is more than a fan publication. It documents years of research with candid eyewitness accounts from co-stars, fans, friends, lovers and family. Included are transcripts of sometimes controversial interviews with many of the sources quoted in the biography of the screen duo, Sweethearts: The Timeless Love Affair Onscreen and Off Between Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, by Sharon Rich.

Many issues from #50 on upwards are still in print. In 2006 the earlier issues #1-49 were reissued in twelve book compilations (see below). Each book is compiled of four magazines, each reproduced with their original color covers. Editor Sharon Rich wrote new introductions to each Volume, correcting and/or updating early research, and providing additional information withheld at the time the original magazines were published - generally because of confidentiality issues.

As of 2007, 68 issues have been published. Rich is still actively interviewing people with information about the careers or personal lives of MacDonald and Eddy and encourages anyone with a story to tell to come forward (if confidentiality is requested, it will be honored).
