Showbiz History: Norma, Viola, and Two Sexy Guys Named "Chris"
10 random things that happened on this day in history (Aug 11th)
1902 Norma Shearer is born in Montreal. Or was she? IMDb lists her date as August 10th but most sources say August 11th. There were previous disputes about the year, too -- 1900, 1902, 1904?
