How awesome of you to include Norma Shearer & Irving Thalberg! I adore them both. Hollywood Royalty indeed!

Thalberg died in 1936-—he was only 37. Thalberg’s crypt was engraved “My Sweetheart Forever” by Shearer. It was said Shearer would not take off her wedding ring when filming-—and resorted to flesh-toned coverings when her character was single.

In 1942, Shearer married Martin Arrougé, a former ski instructor, who was ten years younger. They were still married in 1983 when she died-—she often called Martin “Irving” in her later years.

She is entombed in Forest Lawn in a crypt marked Norma Shearer Arrouge, alongside Irving.
