Myrna Loy and William Powell. LA Times.

35. Myrna Loy

Myrna Loy, along with William Powell, formed an incredibly dynamic duo that featured in fourteen films together, many of which featured the famous characters of Nick and Nora Charles from the novel The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammitt. William Powell was nominated for three Academy Awards for Best Actor in his role in three of the Thin Man films. Despite being an equal part of the duo, Myrna was never nominated for her work. She didn’t receive an Academy Award until two years after her death, and that was only as a lifetime achievement award.
