If she had a type onscreen – and Loy tried hard to avoid becoming a type – she would become Nora Charles, the paragon of wives: supportive but not obsequious, the equal of any spouse, ready with a wisecrack and a bit of fun, and always beautifully turned out. Quite a stretch, she'd admit, for a woman divorced four times, childless and openly dismissive of her domestic skills.Four marriages. I had no idea.

My favorite movie of all time: Best Years of Our Lives.
So few people seem to know about it. Timeless.

Always a fan of Myrna Loy and William Powell. They don’t make movies like they used to.

One of my employer's senior VPs had an executive assistant who looked just like Myrna. The resemblance was so striking. I never could take my eyes off of her. Lovely

They don’t make them like that anymore. She was sophistication and top tier.

I adored the thin man series. I own Mr. Blanding’s Dreamhouse. Great actress.

She was a hard-core Democrat.

I like her movies but I heard she had an abortion. It messed up her mommy parts, which kept her from having children later in life. Not sure if she had it done so she could keep acting or if she got pregnant from someone, she claims, she fended off.
