Myrna Loy (1905-1993): Myrna Loy was an adroit, irresistible comedienne with a dry-martini voice who played the “perfect wife” in a series of clever detective films and was crowned the Queen of Hollywood. Myrna once said: “The Perfect Wife was a role no one could live up to, really. Labels limit you, because they limit your possibilities. But that's how they think in Hollywood.”
