Welcome to this site devoted to Norma Shearer at Classic Movie Favorites. Norma Shearer had a career that spanned from silent to sound films allowing her to become one of the greatest stars to come out of the Hollywood system. By marrying the great producer Irving Thalberg, she increased her fame, but suffered through many difficulties with his early death. Like Garbo, she retired early in life, but left a legacy of wonderful films for us to remember always. This site is devoted to those memories.
See special area entitled "Featured Films" in the film section where I highlight my favorite Shearer films. |
