Famous quote: "Some perfect wife I am," she said, referring to her typecasting. "I've been married four times, divorced four times, have no children, and can't boil an egg."
Did you know that Venice High School had a statue of Myrna out in their front lawn for decades? It was created in 1921, before she was famous. Myrna was just a 16 year old student when she was chosen to pose for the art work that was being done for the school. If you watch the movie "Grease", which features Venice High School, you will see the statue of Myrna out front. Sadly, the statue was recently taken down for "repairs", but was spotted laying out in the schools scrap yard, with the head missing.

I love that quote of hers!
At first glance she could pass for an Indian actress from that era.She looks differant from the stereotype of that age...very beautiful
I had the amazing opportunity to wear my hair like that during a play I did in high school. Everyone said that I needed to aim for a "Myrna Loy" look. thanks for reminding me of the nice memory :)
PS - Thanks keeping us in your thoughts since my dad's illness. It means a lot to me.
stunning photograph!
Gosh she was a classic beauty wasn't she?
She's so beautiful. It's very distressing to hear about her neglected statue...
