Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:13, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Dubious Citation

Darwin Porter's Hollywood's Silent Closet is the source given for relationships Shearer may have had with Mickey Rooney and James Stewart after Thalberg's death. This is not a reputable source; both of his "Hollywood Exposes" are at best fiction. If this stuff cannot be supported with other, more credible sources (such as Gavin Lambert's biography), maybe it should just be removed.

Norma Shearer at Wikimedia Commons

Is anyone else a bit disappointed with the lack of pictures on commons? Most actors as famous as her, have at least 30 pictures at commons, but she only has 13, with only 4 of the talkie era! Could someone please make a change of this?77.248.49.106 (talk) 20:22, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Why nothing about Norma Shearer's hand in getting Janet Leigh her start???????
