PERFECTION , God Bless You Norma Shearer !!

I love Norma but a lot of those connections are just plain wrong. Howard Hawks was married to her sister! JFK? No way! Someone needs to correct this stuff but I don`t think I can because I just registered.

i love norman shearer she did so much for the sexual liberation of women in the early movies, she`s a true feminist hero

Victoria JarvisSep 14, 2007

Norma was not a blonde, but a burnished brunette. She was a remarkable actress with a slim, ethereal presence and real talent. Very, very intelligent woman whose talents far exceed average actresses. She was Irving Thalberg`s wife, also. Read her history. Charm, exquisite acting genius and luminescent femininity that was seamless and literate.
