Norma Desmond

I'm still big - it's the PICTURES that got small!

About Me

Yes, maybe you don't remember me...you're too young. I was the greatest star of them all. A fan of mine once bid a million dollars for a lock of my hair. And oh - there was a Maha Raja that begged for one of my stockings. He later hanged himself with it. That one made me chuckle. I live in West Hollywood with my butler Max. He's of no importance. But stop back soon - he's working on my fan club website!

My Interests

Me, me - Norma Desmond! Silent pictures, my weekly card game with Anna Q. Neilson, Buster Keaton, and H.B. Warner, and all of those wonderful people out there in the dark!

I'd like to meet:

Sagitarians. I like Sagitarians. You can trust them.

Music:

Tango. You know, Valentino once told me it takes tile to tango. And anything but Max's blasted pipe organ music!

Movies:

Any picture I've made. And my latest collaboration with C.B. DeMille "Salome!" In which I will play the part of Salome. Who else?Here's a shout out to my fans south of the border:

Television:

Television??? You mean the talkies? In my day we didn't need words - we had FACES!

Who's Betty Schaffer?

Who is this Betty Schaffer?  My... young colleague Joe is stepping out at night.  I know he is.  Why does he torment me so?  I found a script in his pocket with a woman's name on i...
