Working at age 4

Remembering a forgotten movie star—Loretta Young—She entered movies age 4, playing a fairy in The Primrose Ring (1917). By the time she was 15, she was playing ingénue roles as in The Magnificent Flirt (1928). Her career soared with leading roles as a warm, sincere woman with purpose, and she was a hit in the ’40 and ‘50s with Call of the Wild (1935), Ramona (1936), and Rachel and the Stranger (1948). She won an Oscar as Best Actress in The Farmer’s Daughter (1947) and was nominated as Best Actress again for Come to the Stable (1949). In 1953, she began The Loretta Young Show on TV, a drama anthology that ran to 1961showcasing her dramatic entrance in a fabulous gown every week. In 1962, she had a one-year TV series, The New Loretta Young Show, playing a widow with 7 children. In 1959, she was awarded a Golden Globe for television achievement, and in 1987, she won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV movie for Christmas Eve (1986).
