## Bio

Edith Norma Shearer was born in Canada in 1902 and started in film in 1919. Through the silent era and into the talkies, she carved out a type: spunky, sexually liberated, unrepentant. The Divorcee brought her the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1930, the first of six nominations across a career that ended in 1942. She took on prestige material - adaptations of playwrights and Shakespeare - and played them as modern women, not mannequins. Critics later called her a feminist pioneer for making singleness and sexual agency look chic on screen, a shift that registered because audiences saw it happening in real time.
