I, once again, forgot she had her own thread...

The lovely Miss Shearer, shot by the equally wonderful Hurrell, in 1932.

Norma's one of the most under appreciated actresses of her time! She is amazing. Have any of you seen her Pre-Codes like "The Divorcee" and "A Free Soul"? She's simply lovely in those. Such a brilliant actress.

where have all the shearer fans gone?drinking a cup of virtual tea just around the corner or are they to be visited in the zoo as last examples of a dying breed?

a pc from the 20s.i like those early pics of her when she hadn´t developed her polished sophistication yet.

 

[somnambule]

even though norma seems to be destined for oblivion one more picture,a very lovely one imo !!!
picture show annual 32

miss shearer and me are drinking a cup of tea looking outside through the window totally astounded by the masses of people who are hurrying by there... (and are never stopping not even for a moment )

shze certainly knew how to wear a satin gown.seems like she was born it.

she was hurrell´s muse.we have already had similar pics to this one ,but not exactly the same

a free soul,1931 with clark gable.i love her classic profile and those cloche hats looked best on her.later she often had the inclination to exeggerate her styling too much imo

i loved her as marie-antoinette.perhaps a bit sappy at times,but nevertheless very very moving and realistic.it was her last great film.thalberg was already dead when they astarted to shoot the film

 

[somnambule]

ahh and i forget to add...from picture show annual 1933

 

[somnambule]

and still one more i forgot...can´t remember from which of the aforementioned sources i got it...

Amazing pics. Norma Shearer has a unique look about her, but what an amazing actress. Its good to see that im not the only one who knows who she is. I loved her in the women, i know its rather outdated now but i can never get bored watching her or that movie.
