Legends of the Silent Film Era in Hollywood #shorts

Born in Montreal, Canada, on August 10, 1902, Norma Shearer reigned as one of the silver screen’s brightest stars during both the silent and talking film eras. Known as the "First Lady of MGM," she captivated audiences with her classic beauty and powerful portrayals of strong, independent women.

With six Academy Award nominations for Best Actress under her belt, including a win for "The Divorcee" in 1930, Shearer’s legacy is undeniable. Her timeless performances in films like "Marie Antoinette" and "Romeo and Juliet" have cemented her status as a cinematic icon. She passed away on June 12, 1983, leaving an enduring mark on the history of film.

I like how Norma beat the odds, everyone told her she wouldn’t make it in Hollywood, pointing out her physical deficiencies.

But she went on in a time where female actors were dominating the market, pre-code era and slightly after. She’s absolutely one of my favorites and I wish more of her silent films were available, but I have an old picture filmography book of hers.❤
