Norma Shearer Pre 1920

 

 

 

1903

 

   With mother Edith.

1905

 

   

 

Note: Considering that Lawrence Quirk’s Norma biography got the birth date for Norma wrong, the photograph with her mother was probably taken around 1903 (not 1901, as Quirk mentioned in his book), when Norma was a year of age. However, there is a strong chance that might be Athole and mother Edith, if the picture is from 1901, notice the wide eyes on the child, but also notice Norma's narrow eyes in the 1905 picture. There is a chance that might indeed be Athole. Not many pictures of Norma from these years have survived the test of time. If you have any from your personal collection, and would like me to add them to Lady of the Night, please email me.
