Modern Screen - May 1940:

How Hollywood Spends it's Wealth: 
When cash burns holes in stars pockets, they run to Billy Seymour, their pet 
jeweler.
By unknown author

He [Billy Seymour] knows, for example, that Madeleine Carroll, Joan and Const
ance Bennett, Jeanette MacDonald, Hedy Lamarr, and Joan Crawford are all star 
sapphire addicts.

JEANETTE MACDONALD

If Jeanette MacDonald's concert tour is interrupted by a mousy looking agent 
with a summons in his hand, the gorgeous songstress shouldn't be at all 
surprised.  For she foisted just such a character off on Director Robert Z. Leonard 
as she finished "New Moon."  Bob used to hang his raincoat in Jeanette's 
portable dressing room on the set.  When the picture was completed she had her 
lawyer draw up a legal looking document, charging Leonard with rent, storage, wear 
and tear on door hinges, and a big chunk of hush money for Gene Raymond.
