Who is Loretta Durkin in Only Murders in the Building?
The actress whose break took forty years · Suspects & Seasons
Loretta Durkin (The actress whose break took forty years) is a character in Only Murders in the Building, part of Suspects & Seasons. Loretta Durkin spent a lifetime almost-making-it — decades of regional theatre, day jobs and one suitcase of clippings — before Oliver Putnam casts her in his Broadway comeback and recognises, mid-audition, the real thing. The romance that follows is two late bloomers refusing to call it a last chance. But Loretta's scrapbook holds a secret tied to the show's leading man, Ben Glenroy, and the season keeps asking the worst question gently: how far would forty years of waiting push a person?
