I love when the tarot card reader comes the the stand and asks for her picture of Myrna Loy!
There must have been a cache to Myrna's name; she is also mentioned in BONNIE AND CLYDE (the Estelle Parsons character is looking at a movie magazine, and "G. W." comes over and asks if there are any pictures of Myrna Loy in it, saying something like, "She is my FAVORITE!).
If Myrna saw either movie, am sure she got a chuckle from the mention.
John Dillinger snuck out of hiding to go to a theater to see a Myrna Loy movie when he was cornered and killed by the FBI agents who had been tracking him for a year.
Myrna is mentioned twice. Once in the scene you mentioned and then again when Daisy is coached to say Myrna is her favorite actress and that she wishes Myrna was her mother.
shareI recall a scene where the woman at the honeymoon motel asks for Daisy's autograph, she signs something and the woman looks at it and says, "You're not Myrna Loy."
I have seen enough to know I have seen too much. -- ALOTOshare
