Wearing a Pantsuit at the Beach in 1940. Different.

 The editor who wrote the photo caption (see below) was treading dangerous ground in his description of Ms. Shearer.  I mean, "... no longer a young girl"!  Lets hope 38-year-old Norma was in a gracious mood when she read that.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Norma Shearer, born Aug. 10th, 1902, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  Yeah, she looks darn good for a 38-year-old.  

"The camera caught Norma Shearer in this natural, rear pose, an acid test for any figure.  Young, lithe and lovely are her lines, though Miss Shearer is no longer a young girl."
