I can't mention
Myrna Loy without writing a post on William Powell, the two go hand-in-hand. Like Myrna, he is hands down my favorite classic film star. His gorgeous accent and amazing acting chops won my heart the first time I saw The Thin Man. I can't specifically pinpoint what it is about William, but when I watch his movies, I always swoon a little.
I feel that this
quote so perfectly captures my feelings about William...
"He was a debonair sophisticate not afraid to be ridiculous or silly, a deft comedian who could also handle drama and pathos with rare sincerity. William Powell was a truly fine actor, and a gentleman both on and off screen."
Happy Thursday!
