I'm ashamed to say it but I had never even HEARD of Myrna Loy until I was looking up Jimmy Stewart on IMDB and read a quote by him where he said, "There should be a law against anyone who doesn't want to marry Myrna Loy." I was thinking, "Who?"
Suffice to say I'll start looking up her films now.. -

I had never heard of Myrna Loy either until a few years ago I was watching an early movie she did with Clark Gable, Men in White. The instant I saw her, I was like who is this stunning creature? Since I try to see every1908thing with Gable in it, I ran across her again and again. Then I saw the Thin Man movies, and now I watch everything she's in. She's adorable. I love her with William Powell, and Gable too. I read her autobiography, Being and Becoming. It is great, I highly recommend it. What a sweet lady she was.

Does 28 count as young? I'd heard of Myrna Loy before, but hadn't seen her until Mr. Blandings Buils His Dreamhouse was on TCM a couple of years ago. Love her to pieces.

I was about 30 when I first heard of Myrna Loy. I was watching either AMC or TCM and "Third Finger, Left Hand" was on. She was in that with Melvyn Douglas. Ever since I have been a huge fan. Also became a big fan of William Powell in the process.

I'm 16, and have yet to see "Wife vs. Secretary" and numerous other movies of Myrna Loy, but I definitely love her both as an actress and as a person. I guess I don't have to mention how much I love Nick & Nora, but actually the first Myrna Loy film I ever saw as "Best Years of Our Lives." She immediately caught my attention and I sought out to find out more about her. She's definitely one of the best.

Same with me - I'm 17 and saw her for the first time in "Midnight Lace" last Summer. I loved her as "Aunt Bea" because she was so perfect for the role but didn't look her up. Then I saw "The best years of our lives" and she immediately caught my attention. As I found out she was Myrna Loy and had also appeared in "Midnight Lace" I wanted to watch more movies with her - she's wonderful in everything she did. The Thin Man Series are nothing but great and so many others are too

I'm 21, & I've been a fan of Myrna for months. She's a fabulous actress, & an underrated one at that. She's full of charm & wit & I think her voice is absolutely adorable. I also find that she's always at her best when she's on screen with William Powell. She was such a wonderful woman whom I respect & admire so much.

Going on 19, Myrna Loy was an amazing actress. I've grown up on silverscreen films since my parents love them. I probably know mor1c84e about old stars and old movies than I do about those of today lol. I think that todays films and actors, though in some respects are better, will never compare to those who were here first and many of the classic films that have been made. It makes me sad that so few of my own friends don't know or won't even give them a chance.
