Myrna Loy by Emily Wortis Leider
From the beginning, Myrna Loy's screen image conjured mystery, a sense of something withheld. 'Who is she?' was a question posed in the first fan magazine article published about her in 1925. This biography presents a picture of her life and an extraordinary movie career that spanned six decades.
"A top-notch biography of a great performer.. Highly recommended."--Choice "A crisp, smart biography."--Washington Post "Loy's gifts are easy to enjoy, hard to describe. She's been lucky in attracting an even-tempered sympathetic biographer like Ms. Leider, whose book, like the best of its genre, sends you back to the films."--Wall Street Journal "This is a must read for anyone who is a Myrna Loy fan."--San Francisco Book Review / Sacramento Book Review "Reveals the shy, warm, and modest figure behind the image of the cool, chic urbanite... Leider's books are smart and witty trips through the lives of her subjects, and this work is no exception."--Library Journal
Biographer, poet, and memoirist Emily W. Leider is the author of Dark Lover: The Life and Death of Rudolph Valentino, Becoming Mae West, and Rapid Eye Movement and Other Poems, among other books.
