1. I'd have been disappointed if you hadn't mentioned Menjou's political leanings!

This is DU, after all.

In the same vein, I recently learned Barbara Stanwyck was a conservative Republican. How'd I miss that story? Still, it's not going to stop me from enjoying her movies.

All that said, I'll still look forward to Myrna Loy tributes...
