A selection of rare candid and newsreel footage of Norma Shearer between 1925 and 1947 with musical accompaniment by the Phil Harris Orchestra playing "Strange interlude".
Married to Irving Thalberg and mother of I think, three children. A divine actress - such a shining intelligence and spontaneity that surpassed the common standards of glamour. Gorgeous without being beautiful. Adored Thalberg who died so young with a bad heart, had some big-time romances, and then remarried to the young escort with her - not Tyrone Power, the other one. He was fifteen years or more younger than she. He adored her. I believe she went to a sanitarium with Alzheimer's and her big blue eyes went dim with blindness. She enquired of everyone: "Are you Irving?" Bless her soul, what a film legacy she left behind.
