This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyeditMetadata, version of citation a chapter and published similar papers in at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive Lasting Screen Stars: Images that Fade and Personas that Endure. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-40733-7_6 ‘What Price Widowhood?’: The Faded Stardom of Norma Shearer Lies Lanckman In July 1934, Photoplay magazine featured an article entitled ‘The Real First Lady of Film’, introducing the piece as follows: The First Lady of the Screen – there can be only one – who is she? Her name is not Greta Garbo, or Katharine Hepburn, not Joan Crawford, Ruth Chatterton, Janet Gaynor or Ann Harding. It’s Norma Shearer (p. 28). Originally from Montréal, Canada, Norma Shearer signed her first MGM contract at age twenty. By twenty-five, she had married its most promising producer, Irving Thalberg, and by thirty-five, she had been widowed through the latter’s untimely death, ultimately retiring from the screen forever at forty. During the intervening twenty years, Shearer won one Academy Award and was nominated for five more, built up a dedicated, international fan base with an active fan club, was consistently featured in fan magazines, and starred in popular and critically acclaimed films throughout the silent, pre-Code and post-Code eras. Shearer was, at the height of her fame, an institution; unfortunately, her career is rarely as well-remembered as those of her contemporaries – including many of the stars named above.

  • Our County, Our Story; Portage County, Wisconsin
    Our County Our Story PORTAGE COUNTY WISCONSIN BY Malcolm Rosholt Charles M. White Memorial Public LibrarJ PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STEVENS POINT, \VISCONSIN 1959 Copyright, 1959, by the PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AT WORZALLA PUBLISHING COMPANY STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN FOREWORD With the approach of the first frost in Portage County the leaves begin to fall from the white birch and the poplar trees. Shortly the basswood turns yellow and the elm tree takes on a reddish hue. The real glory of autumn begins in October when the maples, as if blushing in modesty, turn to gold and crimson, and the entire forest around is aflame with color set off against deeper shades of evergreens and newly-planted Christmas trees. To me this is the most beautiful season of the year. But it is not of her beauty only that I write, but of her colorful past, for Portage County is already rich in history and legend. And I share, in part, at least, the conviction of Margaret Fuller who wrote more than a century ago that "not one seed from the past" should be lost. Some may wonder why I include the names listed in the first tax rolls. It is part of my purpose to anchor these names in our history because, if for no other reas­ on, they were here first and there can never be another first. The spellings of names and places follow the spellings in the documents as far as legibility permits. Some no doubt are incorrect in the original entry, but the major­ ity were probably correct and since have changed, which makes the original entry a matter of historic significance.

  • Laberge on Fleming, 'Paul Bern: the Life and Famous Death of the MGM Director and Husband of Harlow'
    H-TGS Laberge on Fleming, 'Paul Bern: The Life and Famous Death of the MGM Director and Husband of Harlow' Review published on Wednesday, December 8, 2010 E.J Fleming. Paul Bern: The Life and Famous Death of the MGM Director and Husband of Harlow. Jefferson: Mcfarland, 2008. 396 pp. $45.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-7864-3963-8. Reviewed by Yves Laberge (Université Laval, Département de sociologie)Published on H-TGS (December, 2010) Commissioned by Alexander Freund The Man Who Was Jean Harlow's Husband This overlooked book is not a scholarly essay, but rather a very detailed biography of famous media mogul and film producer Paul Bern (1889-1932), the “Number Two” at Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios. Born in northern Germany not far from Hamburg, Bern succeeded in Hollywood like many other Germans did during the silent era. As E. J. Fleming puts it, Bern was a beloved figure in the studios for all his life, but his reputation changed completely the day he died; he fell into disgrace and became infamous (p. 1). In his book, Fleming revisits Bern’s life, career, successes, and death. To most people in the ephemeral world of celebrities, he remains, as the title indicates, a film producer and the second husband of the famous actress Jean Harlow (1911-37). Bern’s original name was Paul Levy; his family emigrated to New York City in 1898. Bern did not need much time to secure a position at the center of the Hollywood community. In the mid 1920s, his friends were the most influential directors in the business (Charlie Chaplin and Ernst Lubitsch), and his powerful position at MGM allowed him to date the prettiest actresses of the day, from Lya De Putti and Mary Duncan to Jeannette Loff and Joan Crawford.

  • Mark Vieira, Irving Thalberg: Boy Wonder to Producer Prince Study
    Mark Vieira, Irving Thalberg: Boy Wonder to Producer Prince Study List Minimum Reading Assignment: chapters I = 1, 2, 5, 6, 7; II = 10, 13, 15, 16; III = 18, 19, 20, 22, Epilogue. (Just over half the book) 1. The Boy Wonder General Manager Universal Studios under Carl Laemmle. He stands up to the formidable Erich von Stroheim! – establishes the tradition of the omnipotent producer. 2. A Funny Little Man Thalberg moves to Metro films; for now he is the darling of LB Mayer. Louis B. Mayer’s idea of a good film. Thalberg’s routine: script goes through several story conferences with producer before approval. 3. Three Shaky Little Stars He hires Norma Shearer; her “wandering eye”; her closeness to Irving. Merger creates MGM – Metro, Goldwyn, and Mayer. 4. A Studio Style Thalberg: tendency to give his writers and directors their way if they insist; he is no dictator; also “every great film must have one great scene”. Irving dates several stars. “He who Gets Slapped” MGM’s first big hit. 5. Wicked Stepchildren Stroheim’s ‘Greed’ – “militaristic will”, artist’s ego, and runaway costs; Irving concludes must keep tight rein on directors. The making of the original ‘Ben-Hur’ -- $4 million! But a smash hit. 6. A Business of Personalities Irving is overworked – he personally supervises (too) many films; he has a heart attack. He is paid a lot of money. 1 7. Top of the Heap MGM makes huge profit in 1926. 61-62: The Thalberg procedure for making a film – from selecting the script; the treatment; the script; the script conferences; selection of star; selection of appropriate director; oversight by a producer; Thalberg’s own direct participation, etc.
