Jeanette MacDonald



Jeanette MacDonald (1903-1965) was an American actress and singer who was often paired with Nelson Eddy. Their roles in Rose-Marie and Naughty Marietta have been spoofed on several occassions by the Muppets.

The Miss Piggy Calendar of 1982 featured both films for the month of December. Miss Piggy and Kermit depict a scene from Rose-Marie, with the title spoofing their other famous pairing ("Naughty Operetta").

Sesame Street paid homage to the duo as well with the character Jeanette. Along with Nelson the duo sing "Indian U Call", a take off of one of MacDonald's most famous songs "Indian Love Call".
