Loretta Young
Statuetta dell'Oscar Oscar alla miglior attrice 1948

Loretta Young, pseudonimo di Gretchen Young (Salt Lake City, 6 gennaio 1913Santa Monica, 12 agosto 2000), è stata un'attrice statunitense.

Biografia

La Young nel 1945 con Gary Cooper in Il magnifico avventuriero (Along Came Jones)

Terza figlia di Gladys Royal e John Earle Young, i suoi genitori si separarono quando lei aveva due anni e l'anno seguente si trasferì con la madre e le sorelle a Hollywood. Iniziò a recitare fin dall'età di quattro anni, comparendo sullo schermo tra il 1917 e il 1921 in alcune pellicole mute. Anche le sorelle Polly Ann e Elizabeth Jane cominciarono la loro carriera negli stessi anni come attrici bambine.

Loretta Young raggiunse la notorietà durante gli anni trenta, recitando in numerosi film drammatici e commedie brillanti, e conquistando il favore del pubblico grazie alle sue doti di simpatia innata, leggerezza e bellezza. Divenne una diva hollywoodiana di primo piano nel 1938, grazie al film Kentucky, che valse il premio Oscar al co-protagonista Walter Brennan.

Apparve poi in ruoli da protagonista accanto ai maggiori divi dell'epoca, come David Niven in Eternamente tua (1939), Ray Milland in Notte bianca (1940), Gary Cooper ne Il magnifico avventuriero (1945), Cary Grant ne La moglie del vescovo (1947), Clark Gable ne La chiave della città (1950). Vinse il premio Oscar alla miglior attrice nel 1948 per La moglie celebre (1947) a fianco di Joseph Cotten ed Ethel Barrymore.

Nel 1953 interpretò il suo ultimo ruolo sul grande schermo, per lavorare poi prevalentemente in televisione con una serie antologica dal titolo Letter to Loretta, per la quale vinse tre Emmy Awards. Si ritirò a vita privata nel 1962, ma riapparve un'ultima volta in un film realizzato per la televisione nel 1989. Morì all'età di 87 anni per un tumore alle ovaie, in casa della sorellastra Georgiana Young, moglie dell'attore Ricardo Montalbán. È sepolta al Holy Cross Cemetery di Culver City (California).

Vita privata

Cartolina d'epoca con la residenza hollywoodiana dell'attrice

Nel 1935, sul set de Il richiamo della foresta (1935), l'attrice scoprì di essere incinta di quella che sarà la figlia Judith, che seguirà le orme materne con il nome di Judy Lewis, apparendo in numerose serie televisive degli anni sessanta e settanta. Il padre era l'attore Clark Gable, al tempo sposato con Maria "Ria" Langham. Loretta Young, cattolica praticante, rifiutò l'aborto, ma tenne nascosta la gravidanza e dichiarò di aver adottato la bambina, per evitare uno scandalo che avrebbe nuociuto alla carriera di entrambi.

Solo con la sua postuma biografia autorizzata, la Young confermò le voci da tempo circolanti sulla paternità di Gable. Nel 2015 la nuora Linda Lewis rivelò la confessione fatta dall'attrice al figlio Christopher, suo marito, nel 1998: tra lei e Gable non c'era stato alcun legame sentimentale e Judith non era nata da un rapporto consensuale, ma da una violenza carnale[1].

Era devota della Madonna di Medjugorje[2].
