This is a so-so book on 1930’s film star Myrna Loy who was known as “The Perfect Wife” for her roles in The Thin Man series and opposite other leading men such as Clark Gable and Frederic March. However, most of the book is a rehash of Loy’s own autobiography published many, many years ago. I felt as if the author did not come up with much original research except for comments by the children of Loy’s spouses children. The author provides a great deal of time summarizing films and in most instances doesn’t even appear to like the films. For me, Test Pilot, is one of the great Gable-Tracy-Loy films and one of Victor Fleming’s best as well. If Myrna did not get the chance to shine, the author did not seem to like the film. It just seemed to me that the author was a bit lazy in not finding any new information and relying so much on Loy’s own autobiography. Otherwise, there were some nice photos as well as some good information on Loy’s early years in Montana.… (plus d'informations)

I don't know why this book was written. I found out absolutely nothing about Myrna Loy or her life or her pictures that I did not already know. There were not enough pictures and certainly not enough unknown to warrant this bio.

This is probably the best book about Rudolph Valentino written so far. Not terribly scandalous.
