Myrna Loy: The People's Queen

Tenth in a series about strong women in film. Strong women are independent, beautiful, sexy, feminine and just want everything in life that a man wants and believe that they have every right to have it!I admire Myrna Loy because she is strong, beautiful, delightful and the perfect everything, but I admire her most of all because she came up the hard way.

However, I am more easily mesmerized by a movie than a spiritualist, and even more mesmerized by movies about these special powers. I don't know about...
