Norma Shearer

NORMA SHEARER was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1903, and received her education at St. Paula Academy in that city. Preferring a career to the whirl of the society life to which she was born, Miss Shearer left a luxurious home in the Canadian metropolis, to make a name for herself on the screen. Discouraged by her parents in her ambitions, this plucky young lady determined to prove her talents as an actress, and in the face of much discouragement in her first efforts in New York, she has won her place in the Hall of Screen Fame. Playing small parts for some years, Norma Shearer was ready for the big opportunity when it came, and society's loss has been turned into filmdom's gain. She is a virile young miss, swims and plays golf and tennis superbly, and is 5 feet 5 inches in height, weighs 110 lbs., and has dark hair and blue eyes.
