Few celebrities have enjoyed the professional longevity of Hollywood actress Loretta Young, whose remarkable career stretched over seven decades. She began as a child extra during the Silent Era of motion pictures and attained star status as a romantic leading lady during Hollywood's Golden Age in such classics as “Along Came Jones,” “The Bishops Wife” and her Academy Award winning performance in “The Farmers Daughter.” A&E's biography summed up Miss Young as "a symbol of beauty, serenity, and grace.” Loretta Young moved into television as the host of her own dramatic series. The “Loretta Young Show” ran from 1953 through 1961. It is a drama anthology series hosted by Loretta Young. In addition to hosting the series, she played the lead in various episodes. The Loretta Young Show won various industry awards, including three Emmys for Young as Best Actress. It also was honored by numerous educational, religious, and civic groups. The series and its star were praised by these groups for promoting family- and community-based ideals in a rapidly changing postwar America.
Christopher Lewis, son of the late actress and representative of the family estate, says “his mother would have been proud of bringing her classic series to New Media. It was her idea to bring one positive idea into American households each week with the “Loretta Young Show,” now almost 60 years later those ideas can be shared by a whole new generation.”
