I first discovered Loretta Young in Laugh, Clown, Laugh, a 1928 silent film about an abandoned young girl taken in by two aging circus clowns. They raise her in the circus as their own child, but once she reaches maturity, one clown, Tito, realizes his true feelings for her. Of course, it’s pretty gross- he raised her as his own daughter, but it’s somehow still beautiful, and you can’t help but pity the old clown (plus they don’t actually get together.) I mean, seriously though, she’s beautiful, this is the epitome of old Hollywood glamour here.

i have not been able to locate the executor of the estate of loretta young? did she leave judy lewis, her daughter with Gable, out of the will, entirely?
Maybe that’s a little strange but i first heard about Loretta in Sneaker Pimps song called “Loretta Young Silks”. The sng is amazing. And she is so graceful.
I’ve been looking all over for this!
Thanks.
these photos are beautiful. i adore them!
beautiful pics. the story kind of reminds me of another hollywood clown, woody allen, who also dismissed his human qualities and joined the ranks of the animal kingdom by desiring his own, although not as beautiful, illegitimate daughter.
