NORMA TALMADEGE, Vintage 7 x 9 Melbourne Spurr portrait
inscribed in black fountain pen "Mr. O.K. Mason with
Sincere Best Wishes Norma Talmadge"
Norma Talmadge was one of the greatest stars
of the silent era. She began her film work as a teenager
in 1910 at the Vitagraph Studios in Flatbush, just a
streetcar ride from her home. In 1916 she met and married
exhibitor Joseph M. Schenck, and together they formed
the Norma Talmadge Film Corporation, one of the most
lucrative partnerships in film history. Talmadge became
one of the top box office attractions for the rest of
the silent era, evolving from a spunky teenager into one
of the finest dramatic actresses of the screen. One of
the wealthiest women in Hollywood, she retired after her
two talkies proved disappointing at the box office.
She died on Christmas Eve, 1957.
