She was originally typecast in exotic roles, often as a <a href="/wiki/Femme_fatale" title="Femme fatale">vamp</a> or a woman of Asian descent, but her career prospects improved greatly following her portrayal of <a href="/wiki/Nick_and_Nora_Charles" title="Nick and Nora Charles">Nora Charles</a> in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Thin_Man_(film)" title="The Thin Man (film)">The Thin Man</a></i> (1934).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECurtis2011333_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECurtis2011333-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The role helped elevate her reputation and she became known as a versatile actress adept at both drama and comedy; she would reprise the role of Nora Charles five more times. </p><p>Loy's performances peaked in the 1940s, with films like <i><a href="/wiki/The_Thin_Man_Goes_Home" title="The Thin Man Goes Home">The Thin Man Goes Home</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Best_Years_of_Our_Lives" title="The Best Years of Our Lives">The Best Years of Our Lives</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Bachelor_and_the_Bobby-Soxer" title="The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer">The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Mr._Blandings_Builds_His_Dream_House" title="Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House">Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House</a></i>.
