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!
Loy left Hollywood during WWII to work for Red Cross & Hollywood Canteen serving soldiers, tells a very funny story in her memoirs of visiting veterans in hospital with hungover Betty Grable, who was biggest pinup of the time. After the war she worked for UNESCO & anti-housing discrimination.
Thank you so much for this. Amazing to find so much of Myrna here. I never saw/heard this tribute as I have lived outside USA many years. I met Myrna in 1961, I was 14. We remained friends until the end. We wrote or spoke on the phone. She was a wonderful intelligent woman as well as beautiful and talented. Her Oscar....too little too late. Hollywood's revenge on her for not playing the Hollywood game and for being an individual. Plus, fighting USA fascism and McCarthy after WWII. Love you Myrna
What a wonderful tribute by Julianne Moore!! Thrilling, and so full of insight as an actress telling us what actors do. I was hoping she'd mention Myrna Loy's brilliant performance in "The Best Years of Our Lives," my favorite movie of all time, and she did. Such a wonderful, brilliant actress. In fact, BOTH of them are. I'd like to have seen them work together, too.
Most of the major Hollywood celebrities back then were republicans..Myrna Loy was one of the best actresses and one of the few who's awed by her peers but because of her standout and independence, never awarded with an Oscar imo..nowadays almost all Hollywood is democrat..but Loy was a Democrat from an era when being Democrat was immediately sidelined. she battled with McCarthyism, with Reagan, became 1st UN film star, worked with Red Cross, was very active against discrimination..kudos Ms.Loy
I'm 9 years too late but there were just as many Democrat/liberal celebrities in golden age Hollywood. Mryna Loy Bette Davis Joan Crawford Katharine Hepburn Spencer Tracy Lauren Bacall Humphrey Bogart Marylin Monroe Judy Garland Gregory Peck Henry Fonda And that's just to name a few.
Swudanst Harlow Exotic Myrna was born & buried in Montana, attended Venice High, went to work as a teenager to support her family when her Dad died, lifelong interests in politics because of him, made it onto Hitler's enemies list (probably Nixon's, too).
Scottish Welsh decent!? Oh come on Julianne stop trying too hard. Myrna’s real name was Williams and she talks greatly about Welsh first and never mentioned being Scottish!
Her mother was Johnson, Scottish & Swedish on her side, where do you think the red hair & freckles come from? Loy mentions that Welshmen Burton & McDowell were always trying to claim her, but she was a dancer, not a singer.

Myrna Loy , exotic and very classic style. women are not made like that anymore, now they are artificially UN-classic.
