I read through her biography on IMDB and I didn't see anywhere that she had kidsDoes she give a reason or I guess she did not want any???

Myrna had an abortion in (I think) 1936, as a child would have stalled her career. Later she was very close to Arthur Hornblow Jr.'s son, the step-son from her first marriage, and one gets the impression that in later years she wished that she had had children. Certainly the scene in which her character loses a child in
To Mary - with Love
is imbued with an almost other-worldly desolation.

I was under the impression by one of many wesite about Ms. Loy that she couldn't have children. I don't know and I don't think anybody can really know for sure. I really don't see her as a person who would have an abortion. No tby th eway my grandmother described her to me as a child and now that I'm older. All well.

James Kotsilibas-Davis and Myrna Loy,
Being and Becoming (Bloomsbury Publishing, 1987),
p. 95
"Were Arthur and I married then [in 1934]? No, we still hadn't married. He kept saying that he couldn't get a divorce - even after I became pregnant I knew he loved me and that I loved him, so I submitted to an abortion and avoided becoming pregnant again. I've had my regrets, but it was a godsend in a way. It's hard enough trying to be a wife in this business without being a mother, too. It isn't fair to the children."

You can say that but you also have to realize it was harder to go against your husband in that area or in area than. No matter how strong of a person you were, usually if you tried to go aginst your spouse you got hurt, body or mind. The smae coudl have been said for this case, but like I said earlier, no one cna ever know the case totally unless you were there.
