Rock Star




You would think that dear Joan Crawford would be the most likely to cast stones at Norma Shearer; but, as per usual, being married to the boss had its perks, and Irving Thalberg took care of that -- check out the sparkler on Norma's wedding ring finger. All the better for her to see with, as the acid-tongued British actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell once venomously cooed to her Riptide (1934) co-star, "...your beautiful, little, tiny, tiny eyes!"
