The same year marked her fifty-fifth year as a film actress. In 1925 she appeared in the first of her hundred and twenty-three films (to the date of the book)  and her appearance as Alan Kings secretary in 1980s Just Tell Me What You Want shows not the slightest diminuition of her performing talent  her charisma or her audience appeal. No other actress in the annals of the screen has been featured in motion pictures for six decades. In this Miss Loy is truly unique. This book  meticulously researched  is the complete record of her life and career. Every film in which she appeared is documented with casts  credits  reviews and production notes. The actors who appeared opposite Miss Loy are virtually a pantheon of Hollywoods leading players and include Clark Gable  William Powell  Spencer Tracy  Leslie Howard  Robert Taylor and John Barrymore. From an earlier period are Monte Blue  Conrad Nagel  Ramon Navarro  Ronald Colman and Lowell Sherman. Hundreds of photographs  many extremely rare  illustrate the book. The photographs depict Miss Loy in all her many screen personas: the vamp  the inscrutable Oriental lady  the romantic interest of various leading men  the calculating murderer  the perfect wife and the \"other woman \" to name only a few. Myrna Loy has always kept a low profile in her private life. The biographical portrait which emerges is that of a woman who has dedicated herself not only to her acting craft but to charities and causes advancing public interest in the arts. In February 1980  the National Board of Review awarded Myrna Loy the first David Wark Griffith Award for her spectacular advancement of motion pictures  both silent and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44974559658037,"sku":"ByrdShop_0806507357","price":225.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780806507354.jpg?v=1770664031","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-films-of-myrna-loy","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
