It reminds me of the silhouette of the Queen on British stamps.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the Shearer films.<br /><br />Paulie - Idiot's Delight is not tremendously palatable but it's still an amusing film to watch. Hope you get to see it.<br /><br />Jean - You are in for a treat. Definitely watch some Norma's pre-codes. Those are the best!<br /><br />Amanda - Shearer is goddess, queen and all things fabulous! :-)<br /><br />Eva - The Women is NOT a Norma Shearer driven vehicle. And while there are a lot of big stars in Romeo & Juliet, Shearer stands alone as the big female lead and doesn't have to compete with the other catty bitches... oops I mean other female talent. So I think it's ok that they aren't showing The Women. Besides The Women is shown on TCM all the time anyways!<br /><br />That Joan Crawford quote is hilarious!

Which is arguably her last good movie.Her pinnacle as definitely the late 1920s, I don't generally like silent movies but I do enjoy some of Shearer's from that era.<br /><br />'Romeo and Juliet?'

My DVR will be getting quite the workout tomorrow. I am especially looking forward to Riptide, The Student Prince, Private Lives and The Divorcee (which I have seen before but it's been forever). If I see most of her films by the end of August,I could have Norma as my Classic Movie Goddess of the month for September. And if I do, maybe you could do a guest piece of my blog. Anyway, great post and love your blog.montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357464302627055092noreply@blogger.com
