I happened to watch Myrna Loy on the Classic Movie Channel as Nora Charles.  She and her husband Nick and the terrier Asta solve crimes.  To me, she is very sophisticated and sometimes naive; she smokes cigarettes out of a holder drinks martinis all day (sophisticated for those times) then wonders the next morning why she has an awful headache(the naive part of her)  She's a real lady but keeps up with the guys.

A fine actress in the same class as Maureen O'Hara. She was beautiful. She was great in The Thin Man series as Nora Charles.

Quite simply, Myrna was a fox! And a really good, competent, charming actress. My wife always yells to me, your girlfriends' on! and I come a runnin.

She is quite simply one of the greatest actresses of all. Bad oversight by the Academy that they never nominated her. From The Thin Man series, The Rains Came, and other work like Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, it's easy to see why she was crowned Queen Of The Movies

Mryna Loy was the zany wife Nora of Nick Charles in the series "The Thin Man". She was also a great foil for William Powell in a few other movies. She was very exotic looking and with the last name Loy they thought she was Asian. She was cast in a few movies in a semi_Asian part.

Who?

Myrna Loy was in some good movies and always did an ok acting job. She was good looking and seemed very professional.
