		Her baby sister Constance Talmadge was a major silent movie star in the 1910's and 1920's as well, while another sister Natalie acted a little too, and became the first wife of Buster Keaton.

		Norma made a handful of early talkie films, including the surviving "Du Barry, Woman of Passion" in 1930, but then she decided she had had enough, that she was rich enough to retire and enjoy life.
