Loretta Young had one of the longest careers in Hollywood history. She began her career in films in the late 1920s, and rose to prominence as a leading lady in the 1930s and 1940s. She won her only Oscar for her performance in The Farmer's Daughter in 1947. Her film career tapered off there, however, and she made a successful transition to television at practically the birth of that medium. The Loretta Young Show (originally called Letter to Loretta) ran from 1953 to 1961, and the show's anthology format gave Young the opportunity to play the types of characters she never got to play in her years in the movies.
In saying that briefing, isn't Loretta Young due for her own DVD/Blu-ray collection? She had an extensive career, but perhaps the poor quality of her filmography has caused this delay. One commentator said that while Loretta Young had a long career her movies were not very impressive, save a handful of them. Her television series seems to garner more attention on physical media than her films. And I guess that makes some sense considering her show was quite groundbreaking in the area that if starred and was almost solely ran by a female.
Does anyone have any word on a good collection of movies for Loretta Young?
