While enjoying the accompanying images of Norma Shearer and her beloved husband Irving G. Thalberg, keep in mind the untold complexities of their love. You see, thanks to their discretion in all matters personal, we may never fully know the facts about their marriage; to followers of Norma's career, it has always seemed much like a professional relationship. Be that as it may, they nourished one another for the 9 years their marriage lasted until his untimely passing. And, as we all know, they never really parted...

Norma Shearer was among the actresses who forged the new acting technique required of sound film, but by 1936 some complained that her style was beginning to date. Although it was a great critical and popular success, Romeo and Juliet also found Shearer showing her age; it was time for her to graduate to more mature roles. But in 1936 the film industry was shocked by Thalberg's sudden death--and in addition to his loss, MGM also feared the loss of Shearer; many felt her career was due more to Thalberg's promotions than her own gifts. Shearer shocked many by immediately plunging into work and silenced her naysayers with one of the most memorable roles of her career: the lavish Marie Antoinette.
