This is so well done. I love Norma Shearer. She was a terrific actress. Despite what early movie folks told her about her looks, I find her insanely attractive, pretty but accessible, seductive and glamourous but real. The music is totally right ; the simple violin and then the full on orchestrated section. Pure Shearer!!

I find Norma so sexy, love the hair, clothing, makeup and the lighting. It is a true shame that her legacy is much dimmer than it should be and she is not remembered as well by the mainstream. She also suffered mental illness during her later years which debilitated her. So sad, but a wonderful tribute to a beautiful woman. Thanks again Basil - hope you are well :)

I sometimes laugh when I hear about girls now-a-days being so self-conscious when they see all the "beautiful women" in magazines. I laugh because I feel self-conscious looking at women from long ago not looking at modern women. Why can't I be as beautiful as they were?

A class act!



basilnelson, pure artistry here made easier by the beauty of Norma Shearer. Thank you. One of my favorites. In high school my fascination for nostalgia led me to some books in the library. There I discovered Norma, Mae, Jean, and Ann. I still try to catch Norma's films on TCM especially those from 29-32. Her portrayal of Marie A. in 1938 is top shelf as far as I am concerned. Pure genious. Thanks again.

Your videos are among the very best things on YouTube. They are wonderfully done. I'm reading the new biography of Irving Thalberg, and didn't have a good mental image of Norma Shearer. Now I do. Thank you..
