'The Iron Butterfly' and 'Bricktop' are two names with which you will probably be totally unfamiliar. To be told that, together, they produced some truly magical moments on cinema screens around the world might leave you completely mystified. All will become clear, however, when it is revealed that these are nick-names by which Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy were known to their closest friends - Jeanette's because of her unsparing iron determination in achieving all her aims, and Nelson's, to more than his closest associates, because of the bright red hair he sported in his early years, although by the time he reached his thirties it had begun to turn silvery, producing an unusual blond effect which set more than a few female hearts a-fluttering!
