A Rare Recording of Film Icon Norma Shearer

Edith Norma Shearer (August 11, 1902 – June 12, 1983) was a Canadian-American actress who was active on film from 1919 through 1942. Shearer often played spunky, sexually liberated women. She became the first five-time Academy Award acting nominee, winning Best Actress for The Divorcee in 1930. Shearer had made a total of 13 silent films for MGM before transitioning exceptionally well to the era of 'talking pictures.' The following recordings include motivational promos Norma Shearer made for the USO during World War II, Shearer being welcomed to the premier of "Grand Hotel" in 1932, and an interview Shearer did with Hollywood writer Louella Parsons in 1931.
