I have loved this film for so many years. It resonates.

And it is gender-fluid (?!)

The down at heel writer vs the STAR of Stage and Screen.

Gloria Swanson was an amazing woman…if and when you look into her. This was HER Two-Fingers Up to the Hollywood Factory that made and then DESTROYED her for NOT being the woman that they tried to make! Check GS out ?

As for Norma – sheesh. The outrageous ego, the suicide attempts, the doors with no locks. The ABSOLUTE NEED TO CONTROL!

P.S. Cecil B Demented :o)
