Celebrities may come and go, but at least one lives on– if only in name– as today's Sunday Dog.
Yes! We're talking about you, Myrna Loy.
Myrna is a 3 1/2-year-old Australian Terrier who resides in Boston. As you can see, she's very cute. She's also very intelligent and at times very feisty.
In some ways, Myrna the dog and Myrna the actress have uncanny similarities.
Myrna Loy, the human, was known as a hard-working, determined actress with a dry wit (yeh, I can see that). She was gorgeous and, of course, there was that auburn hair. Plus, her career really took off when the Hollywood moguls realized she had a "flair" for comedy.
I'm not certain how Myrna Loy would've felt about a furry namesake– of course she did co-star with a terrier in the "Thin Man" series. But, if she had known our Myrna Loy, I have a feeling she'd have been pleased.
(Psst...Can you believe this? Our Hollywood sources tell us that Myrna has a sibling, also here in Boston, who goes by the name of William Powell!)
Update: 07.17.11 here is Myrna's Brother Billy starring in his own Sunday Dog feature.)
