This is a woman who had taken responsibility for her live every day of her life. She supported her family since the age of 17. She never blamed or shamed anybody who may have crossed her, just became the actress that actors loved. A great reactor, an amazing human. An amazing humanitarian.

One of the things I've always liked about Myrna Loy in film was her ability to underplay. She was able to get her point across on screen without chewing the scenery, unlike so many of her contemporaries. And she was very witty. Watching any of the films she was in with William Powell is always fun, because of their chemistry.

Totally hit the nail on the head, so few actors from any generation you care to name have had that natural way about them, that is what great acting is. She seemed to have a very appealing combination of self-confidence, intelligence and insight but was never less than charming and self-deprecating. And I could listen to that voice all night (!) ❤

Thank you for posting this. As a veteran radio host who conducted many interviews, I can tell you that THIS is how it should be done. He obviously had the arc of his questions planned in advance but left Ms. Loy the room to go where she wanted in her answers, staying out of her way. I've only just discovered Myrna Loy. I've watched four of the Thin Man movies and am currently reading her autobiography. What a talent and presence!

Due to an abortion early in her life, Loy was never able to have children of her own. Joan Crawford as well. Loy called Christina Crawford, a liar that the abuse never happened. I didn’t know Myrna Loy was living in the Crawford home. She wasn’t living in the Crawford home, so how does she know the abuse wasn’t happening? Back in the day Myrna Loy was one of my favorites, but after reading that I lost all respect for her.

Myrna Loy had the great misfortune of working with Christina Crawford on stage in Barefoot in the Park. She said she was petulant, wouldn't take stage directions, and was a total nightmare to work with. Myrna Loy obviously had insights to Ms. Crawford's personality. Myrna Loy was a very loyal friend to Joan Crawford.

Actually, not only loving her in movies and appreciating her leaving Hollywood and joining the Red Cross and doing much for the WWII efforts. However, I actually never like Joan Crawford - had serious alcohol problems and seemed unstable. How would Myrna Loy state that Christina Crawford was a liar - she did not live there. (I agree) While standing up for her friend - she should have suggested to Joan getting help with her alcoholism.

@@rhyfeddu I am only sure that Joan Crawford was an alcoholic - Myrna Loy could have been helpful to her friend, Joan, by suggesting she go to AA or a treatment program. I don't think Ms Loy adopted any children, but some stars like Barbara Stanwyck did. When she got a divorced she became totally disinterested in her adopted son, even tried to give him back to the agency. (he was too old) left him no money, did not care what happened to him and behaved disgustingly. Stanwyck was much admired as an actress but this behavior of her was revolting. Her adopted son was totally devastated. So both of these "stars" earn an F in my books. Actually rarely saw their films and after learning about their misparental behavior - never will.

@@LJ-ht4zsAfter working with young Stephen Spielberg, Crawford retired & became a recluse. She became a 🌟 young & remained so for the next half century, you don't do that by being alcoholic, let alone maintain your figure & looks (that's how she & Loy met, they both began as dancers in the chorus of silent film, before they even had their stage names).
