I think she didn't find it all nearly as much fun when she wasn't Queen of the Lot, and if she couldn't make her kind of picture work (and her last three really do show that they don't, anymore), well, it wasn't like she <i>had</i> to work (which if nothing else put her one up on Crawford). <br /><br />And she spent the rest of her life burnishing the reputation she had worked so hard to achieve by, professionally, disappearing, and by never giving one single sign that she missed any of it.<br /><br />I actually admire Norma; she doesn't get credit for much, but she was a top star for a decade, cashed in her chips, and moved on - something that people like Irene Dunne and Deanna Durbin are revered for. It's easy to make fun of her, I know, but who ended up with a better deal?Muscatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657061324487851341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-32709328618930756762009-07-28T13:38:00.787-04:002009-07-28T13:38:00.787-04:00A wonderful post.

The campaign no longer tickled her nose, so to speak. <br /><br />I tend to believe that her style of acting was growing passe, and Norma was smart enough to know this, so she opted to go out on top. Just my thoughts. Your mileage may differ, of course...The Cool Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162345087029159056noreply@blogger.com
