Out of the 11 comments that were posted from my sunglasses post, #3 was the chosen one. #3 also happened to be Milllie's comment and she wanted to see Robert Montgomery as the first actor for my actor's fashion post. This post is all on Millie's pick, congrats! Personally I think, that I would deem Robert's style as one of the best. He always dressed to the nines whether it was in his movies, at a premiere, or just for a photo shoot, Robert always looked impressive. Ready to get bombarded by photos of the stylish actor? Well here you go!
Now would you like to see more stylish men or would you like to go back to the ladies??
If you choose Men, your choices are-
Dana Andrews Ronald Colman Clark Gable Joel McCrea
If you choose Women, your choices are-
Rita Hayworth Ida Lupino Natalie Wood Debbie Reynolds
Before you decide which actor or actress, let me know if you want to see more men or women and then list the actress or actor that is your pick. As usual, I will pick the next choice by random from comments posted. Have a good night everyone!
I should seriously win some type of an award in my sidetracking skills, I should have posted this on Monday but as usual I pushed it aside because of other things. Anyway onto Miss Loy....
Sophisticated, Classy, Witty, and often labeled as the "perfect wife", Myrna Loy fit each title perfectly. It didn't at all seem, like Myrna Loy could be deemed these things, when she first started her career in movies. When she began her career, she was often cast as a vamp but as the 1930's were in full swing, her days as the vamp were over. The image of being the seductress was gone, and now Myrna was the classy woman that she would forever be looked at as. Outside of making movies, Myrna kept up the appearance of being a lady and in such cases, when her married male co-stars(Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy) would hit on her, she'd ignore them. She didn't need their attention and she certainly didn't need them.
She stood apart from other actresses because of her determination and her uncanny ability to make the audience believe that she was the character. Often times, there are actresses from today more so than of yesteryear that come off as the actress rather than the character and Myrna made you believe that she was the character. I think that it is so incredibly necessary for an actor to portray the character as if they were them, and Myrna did it every time.
My particular reason for liking her so much is because I can genuinely believe she is the character she is playing. Have you ever watched any of "The Thin Man'' movies, and been able to see Myrna Loy the actress and not Myrna Loy playing Nora Charles? Well for me, when I watch "The Thin Man", I completely believe that Myrna Loy is Nora Charles, wife to detective, Nick Charles. The chemistry that the two possess in the films they did together is so real and believable, it almost seems like they were actually married in real life.
My other reason for liking her so much is because she could do it all, comedy, drama, romance, even horror. The woman could do it all, she wasn't a one-themed woman and that's what makes her so intriguing.
I could probably go on and on, about why I adore Miss Myrna Loy so much, but I think I puzzled you enough with how out of order this post is. Maybe in the future, I will do better than this and write a much better post on Myrna Loy. Who knows, and as for the fashion post, it'll be posted later today.
I know I should have had this posted last Wednesday but completely forgot to do it. So four days later, here it is. I decided that I would randomly choose a comment instead of which one had the most votes would be the next post. Out of the six comments, that were posted #4 was the lucky one and DKoren, said that she would like to see sunglasses. So for DKoren and everyone else, here's some lovely sunglasses worn by some lovely ladies. Before I let you drool over the pictures, I would like to let you know that Millie has done a sunglasses post as well, which you should definitely check out. Now onto the sunglasses! Grace Kelly

As for next Wednesday's Fashion Post, I'm going to switch to men but only center on one man for next week's post. The choices are-
- William Holden - Don Ameche - William Powell - Michael Redgrave - Joseph Cotten - Robert Montgomery
Just like with this post, I will be randomly choosing out of the comments you send me, who the man will be. Tomorrow, I'll be posting a blog on my absolute favorite 1930's actress, Myrna Loy, so stay tuned for that!
