As a kid I could still remember my parents, aunts, uncles and others would gather around the the TV to watch this incredible actress. She was a beauty to behold both in talent and looks. I will always consider her as one of hollywoods great icons.
To mrspatrickcampbell - You'd need a skirt bigger than that to cover your envy. You're obviously a small person with the need to tear down someone with qualities you could never attain - elegance, beauty and class. How pitiful.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think she was absolutely beautiful and a believable actress. Today people watch their favorite actors. Early in time we watched the character the actor played and were lost in the magic of talent. When is the last time you forgot you were watching a movie and was sad when it ended. Sounds like your grandfather talking doesn't it.
Loretta Young was not a raving beauty but she was very endearing especially in The Bishop's wife". Sad she had to endure such a personal tragedy when her son was caught up in child porn scandal in the early 1970's.. Loretta deserved a lot better. Ienjoy her films and wouldnt mind seeing her TV show sometime if they ever rerun it.
strange woman in real life...but on film : wow, just saw "the crusades" , one of those DeMille epics that shouldn't be taken too seriously, nevertheless : loretta Young is at her most stunning in it...even a man like Richard the Lionheart, who didn't much..aheum...care for women, falls for her :-)
If I'm not mistaken there used to be a much longer version of this and other segments of "Happy Birthday Hollywood" each lasted about 9 minutes something. (I Too bad, when I got back to search for them, they are all gone.... Can you please upload a much longer version. I remember one segment segment with a beautiful song played in the background "That Face"....
@PitterPatty Spent the last weekend watching Seasons 3 and 4 of her 1950's show. Found many of the stories very uplifting, as opposed to today's prime-time offering. And with that beautiful face, the "pause" and "zoom" buttoms on the remote were put to good use!
@3909clancy she told her daughter Judy Lewis that Clark was her father when Judy was 31--in 1966. (According to Judy. Its here on youtube search for it type in judy lewis)
@3909clancy I think it must have been very hard to admit to having a baby in those days not being married. Shotgun weddings were still popular until the 60's. He didn't help did he, he knew she was his daughter but didn't much of it. Studios made actressess have abortions even if they were married in case it ruined their careers/image.Remember the same thing happened to Jack Nicolson .
Here's a heads up on why that dress is so retched. This occasion was a big anniversary celebration. That year, many ladies of the silver screen appeared as guests on the program. They were all in white and their dresses on the order of the one Miss Young is wearing. Obviously, they were picked out for them. Left to herself, the fashion maverick wouldn't have been caught dead in that get-up
I worked with Loretta and her "husband" Jean Louis when they were part-owners of the Givenchy Hotel and Spa in Palm Springs. She was a tough cookie- but as soon as she found out I was Catholic, she was very nice. Jean was a tiny man, very quiet. I wish I could have cornered him and asked him the million questions I had. Now they are both gone. I went to Loretta's funeral in 2000. It was totally Hollywood- very much a production.
I was fortunate to sit and say the Holy Rosary with Loretta Young at the Chapel of Desert Hospital in Palm Springs, where she visited the sick and dying daily. After her visits she would lead a group in saying the full Rosary in the Chapel, and if a Priest was present, would ring the Sanctus Bells during the Consecration. After the Rosary, Loretta Young would lead the group in several prayers. These are wonderful memories. That Chapel is now named in her Honor at the Hospital
@Bluedolphingirl01 Spent the last weekend watching Seasons 3 & 4 of her 1950's series on DVD. Many of the stories were very uplifting - unlike to much of today's priime-time fair. And that beautiful face were tailor-made for a DVD's "pause" and "zoom" buttons.
Loretta Young was a beautiful human being like all the rest of us. She fortunately happened to be among the Hollywood's Golden elite, but more importantly, she weathered life's storms a bit better than any of the rest of us could ever hope to do and died happily!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Some of whom, she loved - and they loverd her back - and made a baby. Which she claimed was adopted (Judy Lewis, dad, Clark Gable).
The year Loretta died, when her pic came up at the Oscars memorial segment, the SILENCE was deafening. I love actress but SHE WAS a sactimonious hypocrite.
Her dental work gave her a slight lisp at this point in her life. I think Cher is starting to resemble her as she get older and more surgically enchanced. A little like Gypsy Rose Lee, too.
You could go camping under that dress. ITS HUGE! Loretta could have at least given us a little tinkle on the piano. I'm not sure why the hell it was doing there.
Loretta Young was a great beauty all her life, in the '30s, in the '40s, in the '50s in the '60s, in the '70s, in the '80s.Even I saw photos of Miss Young of the '90s and she remained beautiful till the end.Very few woman looked beautiful after 65 or 70
Agreed! I've been a fan of Old Hollywood stars since I was a teenager back in the 80's and STILL Hollywood seems to lack a certain pride and dignity...
I read their daughter's autobiography. Turns out Loretta was a religious nut who was so ashamed of her affair that she lied to her daughter for most of her life, and only admitted the truth to her daughter after Gable died. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
She was not a "nut", and it was her religion what kept her from taking the easy way out of that mess. She just couldn't go against her principles and beliefs. Put yourself in her place and you'll see that she actually handled the situation in the best manner she could have. Yes, her choice made her daughter's life miserable for a while, but coming out IN NINE-TEEN THIRTY SIX admitting she had had extramarital sex with a married man and had his child wouldn't have been a wise thing to do, either.
juliaisafilmbuff: you said it right. back in those years illegitimate children were to be ashamed of as if they were to be blamed for being born. Poor child go to an orphanage and then be adopted by her own mother who did not tell Gable probably that she was his daughter. Gable loved children and he would have adored his daugther legitimate or not. I know I met his soul reincarnated and I know his soul well.
@juliaisafilmbuff you know her attitude was common in those days for her generation. we had one great aunt put into a mental asylum. She was full of shame.She was of her time in attitude possible victorian.
Yeah i know. I know I'd look damn good too. I have a picture of her in the late 90s from Vanity Fair and she still looked the same except she let her hair turn gray. Still gorgeous as ever. FOX please release that corny hokum, The Farmer's Daughter and Come to the Stable.
I like your vid clip and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some old cigarette cards of 1930's celebrities, including: Loretta Young, Shirley Temple, Joan Crawford, Gracie Fields,Kay Francis,Clark Gable,, Greta Garbo, Katherine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers,Norma Shearer.
What is life nowadays? violence, and plenty of bad taste.We will never see women like Loretta Young anymore, an epitome of the movie star of the '30s, '40s, '50s.There is no mystery in the world anymore, no romanticism anymore, love have died
