Loretta Young rates her leading men from hot to not: Interview with Edward Funk

[@bigbandsrock1]

I hope she liked James Cagney! They were great together in “Taxi!” I adore him and loved their scenes together!

[@internettrowel6930]

There's something truly special about the stars from the old movies, first saw Loretta Young in The Bishop's Wife movie, which I only just found in 2015, but is now a part of all my Christmases to come.

Love her, she is a true lady.

[@charliesmith3777]

You, Edward, are sooo magnificent!! Such a delight to listen to your every word. No wonder you are attracted to writing!!!

I just bought all three of your books on Loretta Young and I am so excited to read them!!!! She really was my idol!!! Totally taken with her in every way......

[@polyprinz]

Ms. Young, I mean what can I say? She is absolutely drop dead gorgeous!!!

[@angelabender8132]

She was the first modern timeless beauty in the cinema

[@olie171]

I'm surprised Clark Gable wasn't on the list. The man whom she was madly in love once and the father of her daughter.

[@CarinSomers]

he is mentioned in the first list of names

[@avidreader1527]

It's a matter of chemistry, Loretta's positive or negative comments about the actors don't mean anything.Another actress might have said the exact opposite if asked

[@alanbstard4]

so why did she dislike these particular men?

[@rmlances955]

What???? No Orson Welles in the accounts. 🤦🏻

[@sherylhelms6329]

She sure is gorgeous, one of the pettiest Hollywood stars ever.

[@akrenwinkle]

Did Loretta co-star with more top male stars "than any other actress of her time?" Certainly many, many. But more than Davis, Crawford, Stanwyck?

[@AidanTheLoverBoyOhDwyer]

Whosit after Ladd!?!?

[@johneyon5257]

i think he's mispronouncing "Lyle Talbott"

[@AidanTheLoverBoyOhDwyer]

Thank You :) Jory and Talbot were more of supporting actors. They did kissing scenes with Loretta? Please share the titles :)

[@johneyon5257]

Talbot is described at Turner Classic Movies this way: "This reliable second lead played gangsters, best friends, neighbors and the occasional romantic hero in countless films and TV shows from 1932 through the 1980s." unless there is a listing on some obscure website of all the Young-Talbott co-starrers - go to IMDb and get both their filmographies and compare them Jory was the star of the 1933 film "The Devil's in Love" with Loretta - i doubt he had any other opportunity to kiss her - but check IMDb to make sure
