   Pierre Billard credits an 18 year old Myrna Loy with this brief appearance in the prologue to the silent version of The Thief of Bagdad, although she is nowhere credited for the movie. Leading lady Anna May Wong also bears her belly and legs in the movie (AW2450). And throughout her career Ms. Loy will exhibit more skin than most of her peers.
