Honoring #MyrnaLoy on this World Day of Social Justice. She worked extensively with the #UnitedNations and joined UNESCO in 1948 not long after the release of #TheBestYearsofOurLives. #TCMParty #OldHollywood #Justice
Went through thousands of documents today and am facing a similar count tomorrow. There are SO many things I came across that won’t make the eventual book- but were so interesting I almost got derailed by reading. I could spend a month going through everything. #MyrnaLoy
I called upon the spirit of #MyrnaLoy at another used bookstore today and found another adaptation of one of her movies.
Update: just purchased the first movie (probably of several) due to the influence of this book.
Yes, it’s the #MyrnaLoy movie on the cover.
One of these involves music, one involves #AlphaFlight, one involves a ton of classic Hollywood stars, and one is centered on #MyrnaLoy. My brain...works in mysterious ways.
Stopped by #DreamHavenBooks today to support them and, to answer a few ?s:
1) Fulfilled my mission to find something relating to #MyrnaLoy
2) Found a book with my name
3) Found a Marvel western I’d never heard of
4) Hot Indiana Jones and Supergirl in the same mag will always get my $$$

Listen, my journey as a self-directed author has gone from a dual biography of ancestors, to #LindaRonstadt, to #AlphaFlight, to a book that will be published next month about the music of #StevieNicks, and my current #MyrnaLoy project. Here are a couple things I think folks can learn from it…
The Thin Man, Perfection! #WilliamPowell #MyrnaLoy #Asta
While promoting #TheBestYearsofOurLives in January 1947, #MyrnaLoy sat for an interview with the DAILY NEWS about how women's beauty standards had evolved since she began her career during the final years of the silent era. "We've grown wiser about ourselves," said Loy. #TCMParty

My second book of 2026 is the autobiography of #MyrnaLoy, one of my favorite actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age, certainly the favorite who never won an Oscar, never even nominated for one, although Loy did receive an honorary Oscar two years before her death at age 88 in 1993. 1/4
