    I think the truth about her career is somewhere in the middle. Was she a good actress? Yes, but I doubt very much she would have had the career she had without Thalberg behind her. Whrn you compare her with the other major female stars of the 1930s she seems way down the totem pole. It is not acting ability that is the problem, it is stage presence.

      Norma was born (11/08/1902 video incorrect 10/08/1902) and lived her childhood in Montreal. She was educated at Montreal High School for Girls and Westmount High School. She suffered from the collapse of her father's company in 1918 and the family became impoverished. In January 1920 Norma and her sister with their mother moved to New York.
