Well You Can Imagine My Relief!



About 3 years ago I posted this picture:



And for three long years I've been disturbed.  No, crestfallen is really more the word.  I mean how could Myrna (or, as I prefer to refer to her:  "She who could do no wrong") have made such a millinery mis-step with that head gear!

So, delighted was I when I just saw this:



It was one of those wacky 30s Hollywood costume parties!!!  This one at the home of Basil and Ouida Rathbone.  Pictured above, from said party, is Rathbone, Myrna, Arthur Hornblow and Frederic March.  At last, I can rest.

The Mystery Gets Revealed!


Oh why do I even try!  As suspected the mystery was first solved tout suite by Clara, who becomes today's Smartest Girl In School!

Yes kiddies, it's your favorite, my favorite, everybody's favorite:  MYRNA LOY!
The shot above is from a 1930 First National picture called "Bride of the Regiment".
Loy was 5th on the cast list and (my seven least favorite words in the world) 'this film is thought to be lost.'

Miss Loy was gorgeous, frank, honest, hilarious, dramatic and a major political lefty.  In short, I probably coulda jumped the fence for her!

Now since you are all so smart, I'm gonna share my two latest favorite shots of her:

I'm desperate about this silk cut velvet gown.
