The Silver Screen in Black& White

Norma Talmadge

An appreciation of Norma Talmadge in today's paper. Didn't know she was satirized as the silly Lina Lamont in Singin' in the Rain and the tragic Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd. Times article says she's unfairly neglected and didn't deserve the ridicule and pity heaped on her.
