Announcer Freeman Long introduces Norma Shearer at the premiere of Mata Hari at the Grauman´s Chinese Theater, 1932

Irene Dunne, 1932.


MGM dropped me right back into the vamp mold, loaning me to RKO for Thirteen Women. I methodically murder all the white schoolmates who had patronized me. Betty Furness had started at RKO doubled for my hands in closeups when I was busy elsewhere. She’d been dropped from the film. “You were lucky.” I told her. “Because I just would have killed you, too.” The only one who had escaped me in that picture was Irene Dunne, I regretted it every time she got the parts I wanted.
-Myrna Loy on Thirteen Women (1932)
