Myrna Roy had a troubled childhood. Her mother always suffered from ill health, while her dad died of a flu when she was just 13 years old. In spite of the hardships, she went on to pursue a career in dancing and acting and had become a Hollywood icon by her early 20s. However, most of her behind-the-scenes drama was hidden to preserve her image.
For instance, nobody ever found out that her first husband was already married when they began dating, nor that she had numerous affairs throughout her relationship with fellow co-star William Powell. Luckily, "The Only Good Girl in Hollywood" managed to keep all these secrets from the press and built a highly successful career.
