Myrna Loy: Montana State
built 640 days ago
In 1925 she changed her name to Myrna Loy and ... signed up for a 7 year contract with Warner Brothers, starting at $75 a week. She was put into role after role, generally as a vamp. Her first relatively major role was in Across the Pacific which led to her being cast in exotic and oriental roles. Her first speaking role was in State Street Sadie - originally a silent movie, it had a dialogue sequence added to take advantage of the new medium of sound. In 1929 she was cast in the first all-sound movie The Desert Song as native girl Azuri.

All of Loy's films released prior to The Desert Song (1929) were silent except where noted. All of Loy's films were produced in the United States except for That Dangerous Age (1949) which was produced in Great Britain.

Myrna was taken to the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home, and eventually she was cremated and sent back to her native Helena Montana, for burial. Thank you to Kevin Fitzpatrick for that photograph.
