Auction History Result W644 NORMA TALMADGE portrait vintage 8x10 still 1920s Date Sold 5/25/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Norma Talmadge was an actress from the 1910s to the 1930s. Her father died when she was just 14, and her mother took in washing, and Norma got a job as a model, and helped take care of her younger sisters, Natalie and Constance. All three of the sisters broke into the movies in the 1910s, and Norma married studio executive Joseph Schenck in 1916, and Natalie married Buster Keaton in 1921, which caused her to quit acting, but Norma and Constance continued and were big stars in the 1920s, but both sisters abruptly quit the movies when talkies began, and the official story was that they wanted to retire "at the top", but it seems more likely that their harsh New York accents did not adapt well to sound movies, so they wisely retired. Norma passed away in 1957 at the age of 63. Important Added Info: Note that this portrait still is from the movie "The Lady". Condition: good. This vintage movie publicity still is in lesser condition (what most collectors might call "good"). It has real defects typical of poorly stored photographs that are ten to eighty years old.
