She is so beautiful! If I were to choose which of the Golden Era actresses I would want to have the face and figure of I am sure Loretta young would be very near to the top. As far as other actresses from the 1940s go I would have to also say Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth, Vivien Leigh, Jeanne Craine, Joan Fontaine, and Teresa Wright...to name a few!
she created that "sweeping" move and now lots of beauty pageants use it in the reknown MISS UNIVERSE contest! just watch this year's alone edition... Miss Colombia did it almost like Loretta! WOW!
Her "sweeping" trademark appearance at the beginning of each show to appear dramatically in various high fashion evening gowns, are not rerun on television because she had it legally stipulated that they not be.
I had an Aunt, everyone said she looked just like Loretta Young. In 1962 she was in a bad car wreck. She was driving a 1958 Edsel and was hit head on by a drunk driver. It was really bad and sad for her! She recoverd but sadly her looks were gone for life. She still had a lot of class!
When I think about her I always think of Loretta Young. Thanks for the clips!
Loretta did wear a "form" underneath her dresses so that she'd look better when appearing before the camera. When her series was repeated on NBC's daytime schedule and in syndication in the '60s {as "THE LORETTA YOUNG THEATER"}, those sequences [and dresses] were omitted because she didn't want the episodes to appear "dated".
She did wear some kind of "form" underneath her dresses, so that she'd photograph "better" before the camera. These sequences, of course, were omitted from the daytime and syndicated repeats of "THE LORETTA YOUNG THEATER" in the '60s and early '70s- as per her instructions- because she didn't want the episodes to appear "dated" [and they WOULD be, because of the subject matter and clothing styles worn within the body of the episodes] because of her dresses.
I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please check out my latest one on some top 1930's movie star legends on trading cards. They include: Loretta Young, Carole Lombard, Clark Gable, James Cagney, Mae West, Marlene Dietrich, Maurice Chevalier, Gary Cooper, Buster Keaton, Lilian Harvey, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford ....
Yes: me again, but just WHERE did we all go so wrong? My guess is the vile 1960's. It's all lost forever, folks.

Beautiful, she could move and wear a dress so gracefully.

Well, i suppose her request (legally upheld) that these not ever be re-shown (look it up on wiki) no longer means anything...or does it?

Love those swirling skirts! They're rerunning LYS on a local station in Orlando and I love to see what she's wearing each day.

Wow :) Look at those skirts twirl :) You just know she planned that entrance so she could spin about like that :))

I liked the original entrances she made through the door back when her show first debuted. I'll post clips of that when I get the chance.

I'll say. I'm old enough to remember "Whirlin' Loretta" and her show. Her son Peter went on to fame himself as a guitarist for Moby Grape.
