Norma Desmond is a fading star trying to make a comeback in movies, and she says this to screenwriter Gillis when she first meets him. Gloria Swanson (1899-1983) starred in dozens of silent films, many directed by Cecil B. DeMille. Her first ‘talkie’ was “The Trespasser” in 1929, about a humble woman who marries a rich man. Swanson was nominated for an Academy Award in the first year the Oscars were given out.
