Download American Legends: The Life of Myrna Loy AudioBook Free

A whole lot of printer ink has been spilled within the lives of history's most important figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees and shrubs? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to accelerate on the lives of America's most important women and men in enough time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long overlooked or never known. It is something of the cliché to say that an actor's life was just like a movie he or she may have starred in, but in the truth of Myrna Loy, the cliché is true. It is simple to picture her as a little girl, riding the range with her rancher daddy, sitting throughout the table and participating charmingly in family discussions of current occurrences. It is not hard to imagine the camera panning to her first and then second trips to Hollywood, her backlot tour, and starry-eyed decision to become an actress. There would have to be some crisis, which the story of her father's untimely fatality would provide, along with some kind of deathbed offer made to him to care for all of those other family. Her mom would be courageous but resolute as she migrated her young family to California. The lamps on collection would brighten and the tempo of the backdrop would grab as she strolled down the Los Angeles streets. Perhaps the camera would spin showing the duration of time, as the now adult Myrna got employment as a dancer and was then "discovered".
