Sunset and Vain



On the screen, Norma's glamour would thrill
Showbiz queen learns that drama can kill
When she's violent to Holden
It ain't silent or golden
Final scene played as ham for DeMille.

David Cairns



Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) vamps in the dramatic final sequence in Sunset Boulevard (Billy Wilder; 1950).
