- Always considered her older sister, Marie Blake, to be the more talented of the two, and was happy for her when she finally attained some measure of recognition, late in life, as Grandmama Addams (under her married name, Blossom Rock) on the popular La famille Addams (1964) TV show. According to biographer Sharon Rich, Ms. MacDonald never missed watching the show each week for that reason.
- In many of Judy Garland's concerts, she featured "San Francisco," a song that MacDonald sang in San Francisco (1936) with Clark Gable. When Garland sang it, she sometimes added to the beginning, "I never will forget Jeanette MacDonald. Just to think of her, it gives my heart a pang. I never will forget just how that brave Jeanette just stood there, in the ruins, and sang. And sang." And then Judy would sing it. Jeanette was approached about it, and she said, "Oh, I don't mind... As long as it's Judy!".
- Still has a large fan club, The Jeanette MacDonald International Fan Club.
- 1939: She was crowned Queen of the Movies by 22 million filmgoers in a New York Daily News survey.
- In 1939 Jeanette was crowned "Queen of Hollywood" by a nationwide poll while the reigning King that year was Tyrone Power.
- I've been told I have an Irish temper, I know I have Scottish thrift, and, like the English, I love a good show.
- [1943] I can't believe how blessed I am! I'm married to the most wonderful man, Gene Raymond, whom I'm deeply in love with, and, my career is right where I want it to be. I can live like this forever!
- [when asked by friend Samuel Griffin in the 1950s why she married Gene Raymond instead of Nelson Eddy] I must have had rocks in my head.
- [on being introduced to Nelson Eddy] He was a big, awkward hunk of a man, very shy. He made me feel uncomfortable because all he did was look at me.
