My mother just leaned over and said, "Here comes your aunt. Walking in like Loretta Young." Thank you for the footage so I could understand what she was talking about. And she's right, my aunt does enter rooms like this. LOL!!
I watched this show as a child and thought her entrances were the height of glamour and beauty. When I lived in an apartment with similar doors in my 20s, I sometimes made similar “entrances.” Of course, I lacked the star’s grace, beauty, and wardrobe, so it didn’t have the same effect. :-D
Nobody on TV today is this elegant and I think it's safe to say nobody will ever be.

What a wardrobe and what a lady. This is literally "making a big entrance." Very few people can carry that off successfully.

I love the fireworks in the beginning. Such a commanding yet subtle touch!
beautiful
I love her! Everybody, read her and Clark Gable's daughter's book Uncommon Knowledge, by Judy Lewis, you won't be able to put it down!
Richard Wagner describes the opening sequence in his book, and adds that it was in her contract that she got to keep the dresses.
Thank you Alan! I just stumbled upon this thanks to a post on a friend's Facebook page.
Ernie Kovacs used to parody that opening mercilessly.
This is, perhaps, representative of the Greatest Miracle of the Miraculous RUclips:
WOW!!
LY was quite a twirler!
The LY shows I've seen have her coming through a single door... was this before or after?
this must have been from her one season tv series.
Does anyone else, find those two candle ornaments opposite Loretta sorta weirdly creepy?

Even back then I found these entrances kind of annoying. So pretentious .
