Personal Quote:

[on "The Thin Man" series ending] It was the drinking. The characters drank too much, and for a while the public didn't seem to mind all the martinis and all the hangovers, but then, after a while, they did, or at least the studio maintained that was what happened. See more »

Trivia:

Loy and Spencer Tracy co-starred in three feature films: Whipsaw (1935), Libeled Lady (1936), and Test Pilot (1938). See more »
