  • CUNY TV is proud to re-broadcast newly digitized episodes of DAY AT NIGHT, the popular public television series hosted by the late James Day. Day was a true pioneer of public television: co-founder of KQED in San Francisco, president of WNET upon the merger of National Educational Television (NET) and television station WNDT/Channel 13, and most recently, Chairman of the CUNY TV Advisory Board. The series features fascinating interviews with notable cultural and political figures conducted in the mid 1970's. (Taped:05/25/73)

      That's probably why she was never nominated for an Oscar. And she took on the studio for equal pay.

    I hate when interviewers interrupt the person being interviewed in the middle of a thought. Myrna Loy was the definition of class and diplomacy here. Katharine Hepburn would have simply talked over the interruptions and not have let James Day disrupt her in that way.

    Always liked Myrna Loy's acting read Being and Becoming. Blew my mind what an intelligent involved and informed person she was. And just an adamant advocate of equality and civil rights. She gave up her career to volunteer with tgr Red Cross during the war and visited hospitals she was a pragmatic woman but with real empathy for others. Just a marvelous human!

    When they show the scene from The Best Years of Our Lives, you can hear that music. Some of the music in that film is so powerful that it transcends the medium. It is one of the greatest scores for film. It practically makes me bow my head.

    The Best Years of Our Lives is all time favorite movie and, while I loved watching this interview, I'm so disappointed that the interviewer didn't do any follow up on the clip that they showed. It won 6 Academy Awards and I would have loved to have heard a bit of Myrna Loy's behind the scenes commentary on it. Regardless, it was wonderful watching Ms. Loy here.

    Why don't we have woman like this anymore? A lot of today's feminists could learn so much from Ms. Loy - it is possible to be strong, have convictions and still have class and elegance.

  • @maureenogrady7805
    @maureenogrady7805 Před 11 lety +4

    She's talking about Eleonora Duse, known simply as Duse (doo-za).
    She was a famous actress in the late 1800s and early 1900s. She was known for "Setting a new precedent from actors who previously used set expressions to convey emotions, Duse was the innovator of a technique she described as "elimination of self" to internally connect with the character she was portraying and allow expression to occur." - Wikipedia
    I love Myrna Loy. What a treasure she continues to be! Love this interview.

    Thank you for posting this interview. Myrna Loy is one of my favorites. It's interesting how he talks about how Valentino discovered her. I read in a book about her that she thought he was really sexy. I believe she said that he was "marvelous" looking and more like a "panther" then a human being....

    If you transplanted Myrna Loy from whenever this interview was conducted, to present day, she'd be saying a lot of the same things concerning politics. It's really sad. We need more celebs who are well versed in politics and articulate enough to take an unequivocal stance.
