I was at once impressed with her work and bewildered as to why I'd never heard of the actress before then. I'd never gone out of my way to hear/learn about the likes of Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn or Joan Crawford but I'd heard of them none-the-less while growing up. Probably Shearer's decision to retire fairly early in her career had a lot to do with her obscurity. I think she possessed comparable talent on the same level of those ladies I mentioned. I would like to see more of her work. I'd never heard of Norma Shearer until I began watching TCM on a regular basis about one or two years ago.

I hope people who watch Turner Classic Movies will become acquainted with that wonerful talent. Norma Shearer was wonderful in "Romeo and Juliet" as well.
