I love her.
Who is she, you ask? She's an actress from the 20's, 30's and 40's. She's great! Well, she's great in everything that i've seen her in. Unfortunately, that's not a lot, but i'm trying to modify that. I own two of The Thin Man series that she appeared in with William Powell and today at the library, i checked out Libeled Lady (also with Powell and Jean Harlow!).
Why do i love her? She's hilarious in The Thin Man movies! Her husband in the film refers to her as a lanky brunette with a wicked jaw - A perfect description. She's smart, witty, sophisticated, and dying for an adventure :-) I've only seen three other movies of hers: Wife Vs. Secretary, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, and Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. She is great in every one!
I can't wait to watch Libeled Lady!!
Here's some trivia about Myrrna:
In 1936 Myrna was named Queen of the Movies and Clark Gable King in a national poll, winning a crown of tin and purple velvet. in her autobiography, she says that she did not get on with Gable in her earlier films with him. However, in her later films he developed a respect for Loy and they became good friends.
Her profile was the most requested in the 1930s by women to their plastic surgeons.
Was supposedly the favorite star of famed outlaw John Dillinger. He came out of hiding to see Manhattan Melodrama (1934), in which she starred, and was gunned down by police upon leaving the theater.
Turned down the role of Ellie Andrews in It Happened One Night (1934). Claudette Colbert was given the part and went on to win the Best Actress Oscar for her performance. - one of my favorite movies ever!!
