Biografia

He had one child, Jon, with ex-girlfriend Maybelle Marston, born sometime in the early 1930s.

He was an accomplished sculptor, and often crafted bronze statues of his co-stars and directors. The statue he made of Susanna Foster was used in her film O Fantasma da Ópera (1943).

Suffered a fatal stroke while performing in concert.

In 1959, after 23 years, "Indian Love Call" hit the million mark in sales.

MGM chief Louis B. Mayer hired singer Charles Igor Gorin as a backup in case Eddy became temperamental, but he never did and Gorin never played a role intended for Eddy.

[on why he refused to see his own films] I was too ashamed of them.

[during his 1960s nightclub tour] I want to keep going until I drop.

[In 1957] I don't know why people still want to believe that Jeanette MacDonald and I were a couple off the set. There's no truth to that rumor, at all. She's happily married to Gene Raymond and I'm happily married to Anne. I guess people want to believe that what they see on the screen is reality while in actuality, it's just a movie!

[reacting to seeing himself in an elaborate costume and makeup onscreen] Get him. Ain't he purty?

[In 1934, about his career] I engaged a dramatic coach and began to study the technique of acting on the screen. That same day I discovered how little I really knew, and I've been studying ever since.
