Also, I wonder if Olivia minds that Joan got in and she hasn't. Now <i>that</i> would be a legend they should go after, instead of those inispid models or Miss Jackson...<br /><br />I love Garland (they got her just in time), Loy (you're so right), the ones who don't usually glam it up so much - Gish, Hayes, and Tandy, especially.Muscatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657061324487851341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-64886773930879218372012-11-16T23:34:13.411-05:002012-11-16T23:34:13.411-05:00Did you SEE the smirking fabulosity of Myrna Loy? ...Did you SEE the smirking fabulosity of Myrna Loy?
