Norma Shearer, a bona fide Hollywood legend, reigned supreme during the Golden Age, her career spanning the silent era into the opulent pre-Code years and beyond. Known for her sophisticated charm and adaptability, collectors seek out her work not just for historical significance, but for her daring portrayals that challenged societal norms. Films like 1924's *He Who Gets Slapped* offer a glimpse into her silent film craftsmanship, a rare treat for those delving into cinema’s earliest forms often found on specialized DVD or Blu-ray compilations from labels like Criterion or Flicker Alley. Her true collectible treasures, however, lie in her Pre-Code output. Winning an Oscar for *The Divorcee* (1930), Shearer cemented her image as a defiant, sexually liberated woman, a stark contrast to many of her contemporaries. Home video releases of these films, often featured on special edition DVDs like the 2008 sets for *The Divorcee* and *A Free Soul*, are highly prized for showcasing her groundbreaking performances before the strictures of the Production Code took hold. Later, her iconic role in George Cukor's *The Women* (1939) remains a perennial favorite, readily available on Blu-ray and a must-own for any serious collector of classic Hollywood.
