Loretta Young (January 6, 1913 – August 12, 2000) was an American actress. Starting as a child actress, she had a long and varied career in film from 1917 to 1953. She won the 1948 best actress Academy Award for her role in the 1947 film The Farmer's Daughter, and received an Oscar nomination for her role in Come to the Stable, in 1949. Young moved to the relatively new medium of television, where she had a dramatic anthology series, The Loretta Young Show, from 1953 to 1961. The series earned three Emmy Awards, and reran successfully on daytime TV and later in syndication. In the 1980s Young returned to the small screen and won a Golden Globe in Christmas Eve in 1986. Young, a devout Roman Catholic, worked with various Catholic charities after her acting career.
Early life
She was born Gretchen Young in Salt Lake City, Utah, the daughter of Gladys (née Royal) and John Earle Young. At confirmation, she took the name "Michaela". When she was two years old, her parents separated, and when she was three, she and her family moved to Hollywood. She and her sisters Polly Ann and Elizabeth Jane (better known as Sally Blane) worked as child actresses, but of the three, Young was the most successful.
Letter to Loretta (later known as The Loretta Young Show) is an Americananthologydramatelevision series broadcast on Sunday nights from September 2, 1953 to June 4, 1961 on NBC for a total of 165 episodes. The series was hosted by Academy Award-winning actress Loretta Young, who also played the lead in various episodes.
Series overview
Letter to Loretta was sponsored by Procter & Gamble for its first seven seasons, from 1953 to 1960. For its eighth and final season, from 1960 to 1961, the series was sponsored by Warner-Lambert's Listerine.
The program began with the premise that each drama was an answer to a question asked in her fan mail; the program's original title was Letter to Loretta. The title was changed to The Loretta Young Show during the first season (as of February 14, 1954), and the "letter" concept was dropped altogether at the end of the second season. At this time, Young's health, which had deteriorated due to a heavy production schedule during the second season, required that there be a number of guest hosts and guest stars; her first appearance in the 1955–56 season was for the Christmas show.

Loretta you're young Loretta you'll learn When someone takes you and loves you And loves you For I was young too With trouble like you It hurts when you throw love away Leave history for widows Wipe his story from windows Leave history for widows And learn to live again This old dusty house With it's dark, dampened past Your heart is broken So broken With a broom from the wall Sweep it away We're not sinless or stainless He'll arrange this Come down from your frozen ivory tower It hurts when you give love away But you'll get it right someday Loretta you're young Loretta you'll learn When someone takes you and loves you
