Alexa here. Today is Myrna Loy's birthday, so to celebrate this supremely unique, intelligent, plainspoken goddess, I dug up this vintage Picture Play magazine of mine from 1940 with Myrna on the cover.
Myrna goes nautical
Myrna appeared in this 1940 issue in pictures only, ostensibly to promote her upcoming film with William Powell, I Love You Again (their ninth film together), a Regarding Henry-esque amnesiac light romance that was just another opportunity to get the two of them together. Every time I see a film with them I think of their real-life meet cute, so perfectly described in Myrna's autobiography.
Myrna the milliner
You can watch the movie on YouTube here. And, as one commenter noted, there is a delicious scene at around the one hour mark where you can see Myrna try to be disgusted by Powell, as the scene calls for, but instead she seems to be trying hard to suppress her laughter. It's moments like these that can make even the silliest comedies worthwhile, no?
