Chapter 8 Section 8

In 1940, by chance, Jenny Eden was able to get involved in the radio broadcasting industry.In the era when television was still a high-end luxury, radio was the most common form of entertainment for the American public. Anyone who could afford to "listen" to the news did not read newspapers, and more than 50 million housewives followed up and listened to 6 movies a day on average. radio series.The first radio drama that Yan Ni participated in was called "Female Doctor Jules Jordan", in which she acted as a little nurse, and broadcast live on ABC Radio for half an hour every Monday to Friday at 2:30 p.m. $30.With this easy and guaranteed income from drought and flood, Yanni immediately made arrangements and moved into the luxury apartment on Lane 57 that she had longed for for a long time.

In the second year, Yanni rose to fame for appearing in the serial radio drama "Lincoln Highway" of the National Broadcasting Company NBC, and was jointly crowned by the three major radio stations as "the most beautiful actress in radio drama".At that time and later, there were some not-so-serious masters who asked, how did the word "beautiful" come from when the characters in the play box only heard their voices but could not see them? Later, Jenny Eden also recorded CBS's "Shining Horizon", and NBC's "Aunt Jenny" and "Portia's Life Challenge" and so on.

When William Edward Jr. first met Jenny Eden, his father William the Great was present.According to the narration of female writer Susan Brody in the book "Crazy Love" - One night on the weekend, in "Feifei's Monte Carlo", Big William accidentally bumped into his son Little William and his youngest Greenville Becker, nicknamed "Doudou".William was planning to enter the English Derby at the time, because his Bel Air stable had just surpassed the Waitley stable, and his famous horse Johnston had just won the "Triathlon Crown".Big William was secretly glad that there was no woman around him, otherwise it would always be an embarrassing thing for his son to see.The three of them sat together to drink.Little William was surprised that both he and Doudou were drunk by his father.Three people waited to see the show at 3 o'clock in the morning.Doudou kissed a girl selling cigarettes.Doudou said to the waiter: "Give us two 'rabbit girls'." The waiter invited Jenny Eden and Alyssa Graal.The girls wore pink sequined swimsuits, with bunny ears pricking up on their heads and a fluffy bunny tail sticking out behind their buttocks.Those are their costumes.Great William Woodward ordered scotch for the girls and poured glass after glass himself.Great William likes dancers and their slim waists and pretty looks. When he is with them, he feels 10 years younger.He also likes to tell them about horse racing, and likes to tell them things they don't understand, so that they will regard him as a saint.Little William Woodward sat by and said nothing.Many years later, Yanni told him that he was motionless at that time, and he looked like a person in a painting on the wall from a distance.

Great William invited Yanni to go to Johnston's next game with him, and Yanni readily accepted.These millionaires lived a life more lavish, ostentatious, and more glamorous than her Noel Coward songs described.Jenny took the train to Yakdat, watched the races and went to parties at Whateley Stables, rich old men and young actresses.The hosts of the party that day were York Waitley and his wife Lizzie.Afterwards some dubious gossip circulated among the Waitleys and their servants that this Jenny Eden was the mistress of Great William Odward.Lizzie Waitley told friends that she had seen Jenny and Great William go to the racetrack together more than once.

Jenny Eden and Great William Odward, one desperately trying to climb high branches at all costs, one spending all money even if only for fleeting happiness and beauty... So Jenny Eden had once again paid great money to William Odwald, while Jr. and Doudou Baker were freshmen at Harvard.
