My Take
I find Norma Talmadge fascinating precisely because she's a name most people no longer recognize, yet she was one of the biggest box-office draws of the silent era. For over a decade she ranked among the most popular idols on the American screen, specializing in melodrama, and she didn't just act, she produced too. What strikes me is how completely fame can fade once a medium dies. Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is one of the few things that still anchors her name in public memory. Born in Jersey City in 1894, she feels like a reminder that stardom is always tied to its era.
