I must say this is very interesting. Having read the other books on Norma I find this one very good but not terribly in depth. He seems to talk a lot about the people around her and what they were going through. I do like how he uses actual reviews, interviews and dialogue to make his many points. I am glad I found this book cheap and can now complete my Norma Shearer collection. It is a great addition to any collector or movie buff.
A great biography

I just recently read this book on the beautiful and talented actress Norma Shearer. I learned a lot about her life and career. I highly recommend this book, to any fan of hers, or of classic films. There are many lovely photos of her in it as well.
ENTERTAINING AND TELLING
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
IT'S AN ENTERTAINING, TELLING AND ACCURATE VIEW OF THE LIFE AND CAREER OF A FORGOTTEN FIRST MAGNITUDE STAR OF THE 1930'S (MGM's FIRST LADY OF THE SCREEN), ALTHOUGH LATELY IT'S BECOME A TREND TO RE-EVALUATE HER CAREER, OVERLOOKED FILMS AND UNDERRATED PERFORMANCES. GREATLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANY FILM BUFF.
