Loretta Young: Work
built 606 days ago
In a story about a department store struggling to stay profitable in the Depression, Young plays Madeline, a starving young woman looking for work. She hides out in a display house in the store, hoping to be first in line the next morning to interview for a job as a store model. When store manager Kurt Anderson (Warren William) finds her there, he offers her a meal and a little extra help getting the job. Before the evening is over, she finds the price for his aid must be paid in bed.

During her teenage years, Young worked steadily in silent films including the bittersweet Laugh, Clown, Laugh (1928) opposite the "Man of a Thousand Faces," Lon Chaney. With her trademark beauty emerging, she began to be noticed, acting in several films a year, and successfully making the transition to sound when she appeared in First National’s first talking picture ever, The Squall in 1929.

Loretta Young's career is perhaps the archetype of those stars of the 1930s who prolonged careers by living an image rather than merely performing in films. Laughable as some of the side-effects of that effort may have been, it was ... a way of enhancing one's professional durability—Young managed to work a very long time.
