Amazing to hear "the Boy Wonder" speak. Sounds nothing like I imagined. Thanks

Irving Thalberg: Boy Wonder to Producer Prince by Mark Viera. It was excellent!

@melaniekg ~ You don't think THIS is a thick New York accent, LMAO? Trust me, I was born and raised there, and his voice is strictly Lower East Side.

[edwardjames50]

OMG, he has the combined accents of Delancey Street and Williamsburg, Brooklyn! Now I wish I'd never played this, I'm so disappointed. "Norma, dahlink, get me an onion bagel with a shmear, and a glass-tea!"

Thalberg was a true movie genius.

@melaniekg Indeed, I thought the same. What a shame he passed away so young, what could have been had he lived a full life.

@MadameBovary I just finished this book. I am in awe of Mr Thalberg. I wish I had read his story years ago. 

[melaniekg]

@Tecun85 I always thought he would have a higher, nasally voice with a thick NY accent. What a fine voice he had.

Seeing this clip has made me very happy. Thalberg was such a strong and powerful man. We all should take a lesson from him.
