‘Queen of Hollywood’ Myrna Loy (1905-1993), when not swilling martinis onscreen with William Powell, fought fiercely against injustice: striking for equal pay at MGM, lobbying for black actors to get more dignified roles, landing on Hitler’s blacklist for making anti-Nazi statements, fighting McCarthyism with the Committee for the First Amendment, and co-chairing the National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing. She also pushed a married Clark Gable off a porch when he gave her a hickey.
