Perhaps only after "Call Of The Wild" (and what resulted from <i>that</i>) did she turn into Miss Prim and Pious, perhaps to hide her tracks.<br /><br />Just as Connie is TCM's Star of the Month for November, Loretta will get similar honors in January (the month of her centenary). Examine some of her early work; aside from Norma Shearer, no actress' reputation was better enhanced by the pre-Code revival than Loretta Young's...and I'm glad for her she got to experience some of that newfound appreciation before she left us in August 2000.

I think I'll go with (c) rather than (d) - Connie has her moments of glory, after all (<i>Topper</i>, anyone?), and really when it comes to Intolerables, Loretta pretty much stands alone...Muscatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657061324487851341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-17997352252031703392012-11-13T11:54:44.842-05:002012-11-13T11:54:44.842-05:00Connie Bennett is to Loretta Young as a pain is to...Connie Bennett is to Loretta Young as a pain is to:<br /><br />a) a headache<br />b) a migraine<br />c) a 45 to the temple<br />d) an axe through your skullBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851297819829806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-12624608059364893072012-11-13T00:36:30.163-05:002012-11-13T00:36:30.163-05:00She's truly someone about whom I've hardly...She's truly someone about whom I've hardly ever heard anything but praise and affection.
