Hey do you have the Lauren Bacall and Debbie Reynolds tributes?

[asw88]

No I don't have those. I wish I did!

Julianne Moore seemed to be really into this tribute, unlike others I have seen where it sounds like they are reading from a script. This is my fav out off of the TCM tributes. Second one would be Liza Minnelli and her father. I really respect Myrna Loy because not only was she a great actress but did a lot of charity work. And I also just read on Wikipedia that she championed for the rights for black actors. RIP Myrna!

She was also very political and belittled her acting achievements ever chance she got. A life long Democrat, she once abrubtly exited a dinner party because she couldn't stand to be in the same room as Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

As if you needed anymore reason to adore her!!

What a truly amazing woman! It's to bad that it took them so long to finally give her the award that she should have had many many years before. I love her so much, such a wonderful woman. I want to be just like her. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Myrna only liked the spotlight when the cameras were rolling, preferring nights at home with her Mother and brother.

Again, not a attention seeker for public star approval. Another learning lesson. A private person as it should be.

[Chris341976]

Now, does that sound like a modern far-left liberal democrat in today's Hollywood. I admire her convictions. A lesson to be learned for today's film makers and i bet she was not the only one who thought like this.

[Chris341976]

That’s it—boring! It just doesn’t amuse me; I’m not a voyeur, I guess. Not that the truth they’ve been telling isn’t wonderful, because it is; but they have sacrificed too many good elements to that. And there’s nothing like a four-letter word when you need it, but you don’t need it in every sentence.”

— Myrna Loy, Being and Becoming

“Where sex is concerned, the double entendre, the ambiguity, it seems to me, is much more effective than being too explicit. This is something the moviemakers don’t seem to understand today. In “The Thin Man” series, Bill and I were required by code to sleep in twin beds, yet those scenes had more sophisticated “sex” than anything I see now. …

Nudity is beautiful when essential to a picture, but not when it’s used for gratuitous titillation. Most of the current pornography is boring.

[Chris341976]

In fact i can still go on. Most stars were very patriotic back then and even signed up for service. Today, most hate war even if it is justified war and some even call past wars racist. These sound like radicals to me and not patriots what so ever. This is not the same Hollywood that it was many decades ago. I can still respect the stars for there talents but there ideologies are another story.

[Chris341976]

It is interesting to note that one can be a conservative democrat holding to the ideals that JFK would have. I think Loy was more that and not a far-left lady at all.

[Chris341976]

sides from the more traditional JFK liberal types to the progressive left that fought against our WWII folks and traditional America. Then they bleed into academia and entertainment then politics. Interesting to note our national test scores started to falter soon after that. Makes one wonder what happen to the good old US. What did she hate about Reagan? He was not perfect, i agree. I am sure she thinks communism stinks to. The Red Cross is great and i do not tolerate discrimination period.

[Chris341976]

@thames1978 True but beck then even democrats were considered by today's standards more conservative. Back then celebrities showed more respect for one another in spite of there politics. There is a photo of Loy, Colbert and someone else and i have no doubts they had respect for each other. No a days, if you are conservative in Hollywood we are thrown to the wolves. But again most were conservative, the farther left radical came out of the wood works after the 60s during which liberals split

She never went to acting school? That just proves she had true talent. Not to mention being beautiful and smart. ♥ :)
