Myrna Loy: Red Cross
built 642 days ago
Loy became the first big star to combine serious public service and politics with her professional acting career. She was active in UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), the American Association of the United Nations, the Red Cross, and ... fought for Civil Rights. She sincerely cared about her fellow human beings, and used her celebrity status to gain recognition for these organizations and causes.

If you're a Cary Grant fan, you'll maybe have caught a pair of fun comedies he did with Myrna in the late '40's. Less well known is their first film together, 1935's Wings in the Dark (3), one of a rash of aviation dramas made during cinema's short-lived but startlingly intense love affair with planes. Anyone who's always wanted to see Myrna in full pilot get-upcan't do without this hackneyed but very watchable redemption pic. Grant's a headstrong engineer, blinded in a workshop accident, Myrna's a stunt-flier acting as his guardian angel. When her long-distance flight goes awry, only he can save her, using the "flying blind" apparatus he's been tinkering with. Myrna's only recollections of the film in her autobiography were that Grant was constantly moping around.
