Myrna Loy


The "perfect" screen wife, Myrna Loy
The dream of both Thin Man and boy 
She's charming and witty 
and...perfectly pretty 
Her deft repartee is a joy.

 

Before she was typed as a wife
she lived an exotic screen life
As Asian and vamp
she flirted with camp
Her gypsy caused marital strife. 



As Nora, with Asta and Nick 
her wit was both wicked and quick 
Her banter as sly 
as Martini’s were dry 
The tub-full they drank did the trick.
