Photos
This tribute to Myrna Loy is organized chronologically with a few photographs, many film clips, a handful of personal appearances, and detailed on-camera commentary by Kathleen Turner. Turner traces Loy's career as a dancer and an actress miscast as an exotic, then her emergence as a grown-up woman—shrewd, funny, decorous, and sexy—in Manhattan Melodrama and The Thin Man. The program also admires her World War II volunteer work, later stage work, and progressive politics, capturing the style seen best in her roles as a wife of charm and independence.
