For some reason, The Golden Girls television show is demonstrating a resurgence amongst memes I see on Facebook. I have no idea if this means people are actually watching the show or merely feeling nostalgic for when it was on. Or both. I think the some reason is that some members of Generation X are getting to that age and they hope they’re as stylish and sassy as the characters they probably didn’t pay attention to when they were young.<\/p>\n

Regardless, this item cropped up on my Facebook feed, and I immediately spotted the error, and I wondered if the person who created this meme was ignorant or if he or she wanted to have some fun passing around a meme with an obvious falsehood.<\/p>\n

I’ll let you study it, gentle reader, for a moment. But undoubtedly you, as a connoisseur of classic cinema, have already spotted it. But I will put the answer below the fold.

As any fule kno (he said, borrowing a duToitism<\/a><\/em>), the bottom one is Myrna Loy.<\/p>\n

A shame, really, that the kids these days don’t watch the black and white films, but I suppose we grew up in an era where they played on local television stations because they were cheap and I watched them because I didn’t have many choices. Although, to be honest, I probably didn’t watch them then, either, only becoming a classic film guy when I got into Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant later.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure how easy they are to find on the streaming media. I know they’re not prevalent at the local video store, either. <\/p>\n

What was my point? I keep getting distracted by Myrna Loy.<\/p>\n

Oh, perhaps I was wondering whether the meme author knew better or not. Myrna Loy<\/em>. I’m not saying Myrna Loy knows. I’m just putting my focus on what’s important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
