Lady Grendel 139 Posted June 18, 2011 Silent film actress Norma Shearer died on this day in 1983 aged 80. RIP Norma, the only famous person I am related to. Her grandfather and my great grandmother were brother and sister. My dad vividly remembers his childhood where a photo of their famous 'cousin' sat on the wall. I went to see The Women at the GFT a few years ago and was struck by how she was so like one of my dad's sisters. Sadly I look nothing like her and I see she ended up senile in her old age, that's a common theme on the death certificates for my family and my wee old dad is going that way too. Apologies to TMIB for posting in this thread, I know it is normally reserved for photos and anniversaries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
