There Oughta Be a Loy
I’m a big fan of the Thin Man movies with William Powell and Myrna Loy, all of which ran on TCM the day of New Years Eve, but I had no recollection that in 1988 she received a Kennedy Center Honor. Her career when far beyond that series, obviously. In fact, it began in the silents to even being in a Columbo episode. But even much further. From 1925 to 1982, including The End with Burt Reynolds, with The Best Years of Our Lives in between.
Usually the Kennedy Center Honors tributes for actors are challenged to be as entertaining as those whose careers were in music, but the producers were able to find a twist from her life that allowed there to be musical entertainment. It seems like this perhaps goes on a bit longer, though that's just a guess, and it's very enjoyable regardless.
