Edith Norma Shearer (August 10, 1902 (some sources indicate 1900) - June 12, 1983) was an Academy Award-winning Canadian-born Hollywood actress. Shearer was one of the most popular actresses in the world from the 1920s until her retirement in 1942. Her early films cast her as the girl-next-door, but after her 1930 film "The Divorcee" she played sexually liberated women in sophisticated contemporary comedies and dramas, as well as several historical and period films.
