Other scheduled guest speakers worked with or knew MacDonald or Eddy, including one of Nelson Eddy's longtime girlfriends. Washington, D.C. impresario Darryl Winston will host a talent night. It's a week filled with nostalgia, fabulous music, fabulous films, classic movie history and the inside skinny about one of Hollywood's greatest cover-ups! "No matter where I've lectured, from London to Toronto to Los Angeles or AFI East Coast, people always ask about the celebrity gossip," says Sharon Rich. "The most commonly asked question is: If MacDonald and Eddy were so much in love, why didn't they marry each other"
