Listen "Ep 27: Myrna Loy in Man-Proof (1938)"
Episode Synopsis
Man-Proof could describe the women of MGM's lot who resisted the studio executive efforts to divide and conquer women with type-casting politics. This woman's picture is a standout because it gives Myrna Loy a chance to be bitchy and sullen, rather than playing the wife. And I say Glory Be to that. Also, Rosalind Russell's wedding veil is a design marvel. I end the episode with a passage from Myrna's memoir about when she asked for more money in her contract and they tried to humiliate her. She raised hell in response.
