The Fearlessness of Loretta Young

From February 2013: Ed welcomes Christopher and Linda Lewis, curators of the Loretta Young estate. Christopher’s mom, Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning actress Loretta Young, was one of the first major motion picture stars to not only embrace television, but leave her mark on it, which she did as the star and producer of The Loretta Young Show, the long-running NBC drama that remains one of the best anthology series to come out of the Golden Age of Television. 2013 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Loretta Young, as well as the 60th anniversary of the premiere of The Loretta Young Show. Topics this segment include how The Loretta Young Show was Young's show in every sense of the word, allowing her to play a wide array of characters, many of which went against her glamorous cinematic image. About 100 episodes of The Loretta Young Show are available through Shout! Factory as part of the excellent 100th anniversary DVD box set.  Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
