The Hollywood Museum and co-sponsor The Hollywood Reporter have debuted Loretta Young: Hollywood Legend, the most comprehensive collection of Hollywood memorabilia ever assembled, to mark the 100th anniversary of the life of the durable actress. Young’s longevity spanned over seven decades – beginning as a child ingénue during the Silent Era of motion pictures; attaining star status as a romantic leading lady during Hollywood’s Golden Age; and onto television as the host of her own popular dramatic series, The Loretta Young Show, on NBC. She won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in the 1947 film The Farmer’s Daughter.
According to their press release, the exhibit includes:
- Awards – A complete collection of her accolades
- Costumes – Garments from her 20th Century Fox films
- Movie Star Make-up – She was the first Max Factor Girl. A dressing table highlighted by photos of Loretta Young with Max Factor will compliment his signature line of make-up designed for his famous brunettes

- Humanitarian – Tributes for Miss Young’s Catholic and charity work
- Behind the Scenes – Home movies, plus photos and memorabilia provides a private look at Miss Young’s life and career
And, Jean Louis, Academy Award-winning Hollywood costume designer and Loretta Young’s husband, is featured in an exclusive glamorous costume display. Mr. Louis was the designer for many mega stars including Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Joan Crawford, Betty Grable, Doris Day, Julie Andrews and Marilyn Monroe.
