- 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)

She was 68 years old here...... amazing find !
She was against racism in Hollywood. One of the best
That's probably why she was never nominated for an Oscar. And she took on the studio for equal pay.
Wow, so great seeing this interview. Myrna Loy...smart and vibrant. Imagine auditioning for Valentino and seeing Eleanor Duse dance. Yay Myrna!
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.
One of my favorite stars! I’m a big fan of The Thin Man series thanks to TCM!!!
Beautiful lady, awesome actress.
I saw here for the first time going to a local theatre that played classics and has been in love with her since. What a lovely woman.
She was as honest as loyal during her whole lifetime. Gorgeous, brilliant and unpretentious human being.
she´s such an inspirational woman, very beautiful, very talented, criminally underrated and very fascinating. And always charming and fun. I love her.
Thank you Myrna for all your wonderful memories of wonderful movies! Even though I was born in 1956 I always felt I was born to late!
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!
WOW ! Finally .... an interview with the great Ms. Loy !! THANK YOU !
God Bless you for understanding just how short life is and how relevant things from the 60's, 70's 80's still are. Sometimes the past gets lost in today's digital world,
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.
This is the first time I've ever seen an interview clip of Myrna. She really was one of the best people ever, not just in Hollywood. Can't wait to read the new biography of her.
Being and becoming? Just read it she was truly amazing in her level of involvement in politics and civil rights. I had no idea! Mad respect she was so unique.
She's so intelligent!! Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for posting this interview; it was wonderful to see and hear Myrna Loy speak so insightfully and genuinely about topics that still concern us today.
She's wonderful! Thanks for posting.
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.
Thank you for posting this!
What an amazing woman she was, so much more than her star power.
Very intelligent and informed really an advocate for civil rights. A wonderful woman
wow this is great, ive never seen an interview with myrna before, i love her and think shes so amazing! its nice to see that she s not as aloof as she appears! still lovely as an older lady
She was a rare beauty. The statue in front of the highschool in Grease is of her.
Pure elegance, poise and intelligence. One of a kind. And thanks Myrna, for all your good work fro social justice.
Great interview with the lovely Myrna Loy. Nice insight into her as a woman and also her career.
She was just too beautiful. Love her nose:)
I was hesitant to watch her as an older lady but she still had it! What a great woman!
Marvellous lady and what a treat to see this interview! Thank you so much
Amazing actress who I really enjoyed listening to as she talked about her films and what she did afterwards. :)
Myrna Loy was the greatest.
She seemed like such a modern thinker
Very active in civil rights
thank you for uploading!!
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.
This is a wonderful gem,,my favorite actress, love Myrna❤
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....
Rudolph Valentino was a $3 bill.
@@romanclay1913 And?
Myrna Loy was always the lady. Those days are gone forever.
Can we bring them back just a little
what a lady!!
Myrna Loy is my favorite golden era actress. ❤️ Myrna.
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.
Feminists is RUINING AMERICA
MYRNA WAS A REAL LADY WHO FOUGHT COMMYS DIDN'T GLORIFY EM
Myrna Loy was so Smart and Beautiful she looks so young here
Thank you so much for this.
Will never forget myrna loy
I love Myrna Loy. I wish women today were as refined, beautiful, and elegant as Myrna.
What a Beautiful woman she was.
A lady-like feminist....articulate, committed, aware and refined.
It's funny to hear her speak so seriously and intelligently when her character Nora was such a sarcastic easy going funny gal. Which I like to think was part of her .
Thanks for the UpL!
This interview took placed in 1973 and Myrna was talking about lack of women roles , not much has changed . She’s talking about housing discrimination and sadly not much has changed.
Myrna aged very well!
Very good interview.
E-L-E-G-A-N-C-E
Where is it today?
Thank you for saying what I was thinking! A++ list Actress and person, C list interviewer..
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.
They had writers then, and nobody could deliver a line like Myrna Lot.
She REALLY Deserved an honor OSCAR MOVIES TODAY ARE ALL TRASH
I JUST ADORE HER & THANKS TO TCM I WATCH ALL HER MOVIES AND I ESCAPE INTO THE WW2 ERA. I LUV THAT ERA THE MUSIC,CLOTHES THE FURNITURE CARS FOODS MOST OF ALL THE VALUES.
WHAT A JEWEL THIS WONDERFUL REAL LADY
I like the pre-code films best
Yes, one of most common assumptions made by people is that only today and tomorrow are worthwhile and yesterday is old and stale and of no interest.
Its funny hearing them talk about how much news and information there was in the modern world. In 1973 it was a mere blip compared to our constantly barraged with "information" existence.
More indoctrination than information now
Myrna Loy - 💕
What a lovely and civic minded lady. Wonderful actress and person. The interviewer is terribly mediocre
I wish the interviewer would let her talk and stop being so annoying.
+drumzRfun1 I feel the same way!
Myrna for President
Thanx for uppa!
I think Debra Messing looks a lot like her (or is it just the Nose?) :-)
+Chris tian I have always thought so too !
The interviewer is so annoying stepping everything she says. Let her talk! She is so lovely. :)
+tis now or never I think he does this perfectly. Never having her feel uncomfortable .
+Nicole Marsh-Mueller - I've had that very complaint about this interview many times, Nicole. I love how she still manages to shine through, despite this guy. :)
I noticed that too. It aggravates me that he keeps cutting her off and redirecting the discussion to something else.
I love Myrna Loy. Thanks for posting. I'm a gay men.
I always liked Myrna Loy. From which year is this interview?
@CUNY TV: Is it possible to upload this again in better visual quality? I hope! 🙂
Loy in Cambodian means pretty or beautiful! She was that - also - as Oprah said tearfully - a *best person.*
The interviewer keeps interrupting her. It's an annoying interview.
Myrna likes to talk! Thankfully.
The interviewer didn't know that was Fredric March in the clip. Terrible.
Exactly! Minimal homework required on his part to know that, and he couldn’t even do that
Still was a beautiful women.
Both she and the host aren't dressed too "early 1970s" so this seems modern in a way
love her ☺
How many times did she have to correct this poor interviewer?
"I consider myself a liberal in the true sense of the word" - what a great woman.
Love.
What about her co-stars playing opposite the great Myrna Loy? And maybe they became better actors acting w her? This interviewer doesn't deliberately step on her toes... but she should've thrown her shoes at him!
What year was this?
Early 70s, I think 1973
What class. Loved her movies. “Stars” today, nothing but egos and no real interviews. All scripted crap.
Myrna Loy posed for a statue that's still stands in front of Venice High School.
MYRNA FOR PRESIDENT
Myrna Loy Rules.
mono tone speakers they are ?
`Wife vs. Secretary` with Harlow and Gable is a better example of the `perfect wife` than the `Thin Man` series. In this one and in many others she is long-suffering etc
Loy was a FDR Democrat.
Is this a trippy set or what??
There is no bio book on William Powell. This is all we really have.
sclogse1 he couldn’t have been scandalous. Lol
Clark Gable was a beast with women, a real womanizer with that mustache
I interviewed Myrna Loy int he Seventies. Reasonably interesting and insightful. She was drinking of course and not the social drinking portrayed in the `Thin Man` films but at home, on your own ugly drinking.
f.o.
Shame your comment wasn't reasonably interesting and insightful. Oh well.
"CUNY TV" ..really?
Inspired by... "Douza??" Who is she saying, can't make it out.
she is referring to Eleanora Duse (3 October 1858 - 21 April 1924), often known simply as Duse, was an Italian actress, rated by many as the greatest of her time, in keen competition with Sarah Bernhardt.
also 'Cuny' lol 😂
everybody got a taste of how I think for free then. I still hate PBS
Mono tone struck a nerve. PBS is very manipulative in how they speak. I also see criticism isn't tolerated. Only weak minded aren't aware of the underlying manipulation. To be critical of the critical is accepted, gotcha! Now
Huh?
My opinions are directed to PBS and their agenda not their guest. I in no way like how PBS uses Tax payer Dollars, I am a tax payer, I don't like it. I depise PBS!
Are you ok?
You're weird
Get the help you need
GO AWAY ALREADY! GO KICK THE CAT!!!
