  • Raymond Burr
    Norma Shearer Biography Norma Shearer was born on August 10, 1902, in Montreal's upper-middle class Westmount area, where she studied piano, took dance lessons, and learned horseback riding as a child. This fortune was short lived, since her father lost his construction company during the post-World War I Depression, and the Shearers were forced to leave their mansion. Norma's mother, Edith, took her and her sister, Athole, to New York City, hoping to get them into acting. They stayed in an unheated boarding house, and Edith found work as a sales clerk. When the odd part did come along, it was small. Athole was discouraged, but Norma was motivated to work harder. A stream of failed auditions paid off when she landed a role in 1920's The Stealers. Arriving in Los Angeles in 1923, she was hired by Irving G. Thalberg, a boyish 24-year- old who was production supervisor at tiny Louis B. Mayer Productions. Thalberg was already renowned for his intuitive grasp of public taste. He had spotted Shearer in her modest New York appearances and urged Mayer to sign her. When Mayer merged with two other studios to become Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, both Shearer and Thalberg were catapulted into superstardom. In five years, Shearer, fueled by a larger-than-life ambition, would be a Top Ten Hollywood star, ultimately becoming the glamorous and gracious “First Lady of M-G-M.” Shearer’s private life reflected the poise and elegance of her onscreen persona. Smitten with Thalberg at their first meeting, she married him in 1927.

The discovery of that period, that is recording the tone, the difficulties, the problems and the main challenges in acting in front of the film camera, such an invention would certainly give another direction to the artistic film, contribute to its development but at the same time exhibited barricades of banal nature, in the simple sense would turn the role-play to the zero point, precisely in the moments of its advancement towards the extreme naturalness, would bump into the theater actors with those of the sketches or the noisless films that had already had taken the good hand in front of the film camera, while the theater actors who had the strong gun, the speech in front of the vibrant audience were already starting their career and fighting with the film they would meditate on just as they were.
