Myrna Loy was an actress from the 1920s to the 1980s. She was born Myrna Adele Williams in 1905, and amazingly, she made 78 movies between 1925 and 1933, and she FINALLY got her big break when she signed with MGM, and the next year she made both "The Thin Man" and "Manhattan Melodrama", and the rest, as they say, was history! But what took Hollywood and film goers so long to recognize her amazing beauty and talent? In her early years of making movies, her "exotic" look led her to sometimes be cast as an Asian or Polynesian! She remained a major box office star for over two decades, and she had wonderful chemistry with ALL of her leading men, including William Powell, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, and many others! Some of her other movies include: The Best Years of Our Lives, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, The Thin Man, Cheaper By the Dozen, and countless others. She passed away in 1993 at the age of 88.

Important Added Info: Note that MGM created three different sets of personality posters in the 1930s to promote their stars. The first set had a vertical border at left and a horizontal border at the bottom, with a horizontal box at the left of it, and those posters were made in 1932. Two years later in 1934, they made a new set, and those have two similar borders, but with a large circle at bottom left. Two more years later in 1936, they made a new set, and those have a series of stars running down the left border with a different "METRO GOLDWYN MAYER" in the bottom left corner. Some of MGM's best stars were in both sets, so there are two different personality posters for those stars, with different images and borders. Movie studios created personality posters like these starting around 1915, and every few years they would issue a new set to promote their best stars, and theaters could order them to display when they showed those stars' movies. But few theaters ordered them (because they were much more expensive than posters), and fewer still saved them, so these posters are extremely rare! Note that these posters were printed on a high quality paper stock, but it is one that does not always age very well, and can become fragile (usually resulting in chips around the edges of the poster). Because of their fragile nature and their age, we always send these posters in large flat packages, and never roll them into tubes! PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER, UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY THE COST OF SHIPPING IT IN A LARGE FLAT PACKAGE!
