Hollywood Museum Exhibit Features Loretta Young

The exhibit will coincide with a month of Young movies on TCM.

Film and television actress Loretta Young will be the focus of the Hollywood Museum's newest exhibit, Loretta Young: Hollywood Legend—100 Years of Glamour and Grace, set to open Wednesday.

Young was the first person to win both Academy and Emmy awards; She won the 1948 best actress award for her role in The Farmer's Daughter, and her Loretta Young Show, a dramatic anthology series, won three Emmys. Starting as a child actor in silent films, Young's career spanned seven decades.

The exhibit marks the 100th anniversary of Young's life.

The museum itself, notes its website, is housed in the historic Max Factor Building, "where Max Factor, Hollywood’s Makeup King , created the looks of Hollywood’s Golden Era stars."
