W.S. Van Dyke Biography
He was close friends outside of the studio with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, and at his request they officiated at his funeral and sang.

He worked more with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy than any other stars, directing 6-1/2 of the eight MacDonald-Eddy films (the "half" was New Moon (1940), which was completed by Robert Z. Leonard, who received screen credit, when Van Dyke was called away in the middle of shooting for duty with the US Marine Corps). Van Dyke also directed Eddy`s solo film, Rosalie (1937), and two other MacDonald films, San Francisco (1936) and Cairo (1938).

He saved Jeanette MacDonald`s life when she attempted suicide (pills) at the news of Nelson Eddy`s marriage in 1939
