#2 On a recent Saturday afternoon I was channel surfing and came across an old black and white movie called The Thin Man. Myrna Loy co-starred in that movie with Dick Powell. What a classy lady she was. She had a way of speaking that was fascinating. It was something about the enunciation and the tone of her voice that was just wonderful. She also seemed to have a great sense of humor.

#5 I love The Thin Man movies. Only thing wrong is there aren't enough of them.

Fred, do you remember the one where a running gag was about Myrna Loy's hat? I'm pretty sure boxing matches were involved. Guys called her "sister" a lot. Can't remember the name of it.

Haven't seen one in ages. I don't watch much TV, but I do check the listings, and haven't seen one showing in forever.
