Norma Shearer's classic beauty and unmatched profile enabled accomplished photographer George Hurrell to work magic with his subject. His dramatic images enabled millions of filmgoers to study this very special actress not just on the screen, but close-up via glossies handed out by MGM, and in dozens of monthly publications devoted to film stars.

Shearer was demanding, both of herself and others. "She had this driving force inside her all the time." Like Crawford, she constantly strove to remake her image. Each sitting was produced with a new theme in mind. "Each time, she seemed a different personality or presented me with a different side of her personality," said Hurrell."


 

"The more one tries to isolate the qualities that made Norma Shearer unique the more one heads into an area of a kind of gracious dignity -- a serene purity of bearing and attitude that eludes sensible definition." -- James Card.

 
Hurrell posters


One of Hurrell's most notable collaborations was with Joan Crawford, and he helped that restless, driven actress to invent new faces for herself year after year. He also worked extensively with stars as diverse as the patrician Norma Shearer and the down-to-earth Jean Harlow. Among his most famous photographs are the notoriously provocative shots of Jane Russell for Howard Hughes's The Outlaw.

"Until her retirement in 1942 Shearer held her place as one of the foremost stars through a time when film stardom provided America's equivalent of nineteenth-century European royalty." -- James Card
