Norma, I... I must apologize for not calling you. You'd better. I'm very angry. Well, you can see I'm--I'm terribly busy. That's no excuse. You read the script, of course? Yes, I did. Then you could have picked up the telephone yourself Instead of leaving it to one of your assistants. What assistant? Now don't play innocent. Somebody named, uh, gordon cole. Gordon cole? If you hadn't been pretty darn interested in that script, He wouldn't have tried calling on the telephone 10 times. Gordon cole? Norma, I'm in the middle of a rehearsal. Why don't you just sit up here in my chair And make yourself comfortable, hmm? Thank you. That's a girl. I won't be a moment. Bring me a telephone And get me gordon cole. Right. Hey, miss desmond! Miss desmond! It's me! It's hog-eye. Hello, hog-eye. Let's get a good look at you. Look. There's norma desmond. Norma desmond. Norma desmond! I thought she was dead. How nice to see you. Welcome home, miss desmond. You remember me, don't you? Hello. Oh, hello, patsy. How do you do? Oh, gordon, this is c.B. Demille. Have you been calling norma desmond? Yes, mr. Demille. It's that car of hers-- An old isotta-fraschini. Her chauffeur drove it in the other day. We want to rent it for the crosby picture. Oh, I see. Well... Thank you very much. Thank you.

Career

Stage

Cecil's career began on the stage, when she debuted in London at age 19.[1] She appeared in the Broadway production The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast, which ran for more than 240 performances at the Broadway Theatre in 1901–1902.[2] (A 1930 newspaper article says that Cecil "made her debut, three decades ago, on the London stage.")[3]

Film

Cecil appeared in well over 100 feature films and film shorts.[4] In 1915, she moved from the stage into films, her first appearance being in a starring role in The Arrival of Perpetua, directed by Émile Chautard.[5] She often played "welfare workers, landladies, schoolmistresses and maiden aunts".[6]

Cecil in Street Scene (1931)
Cecil in Nothing Sacred (1937)

One of the most significant roles was in the W.C. Fields vehicle The Old Fashioned Way in 1934.[6] Some of the other notable films in which Cecil appeared include Ernst Lubitsch's historical romance The Merry Widow, starring Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald;[7] the 1939 version of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, starring Mickey Rooney;[8] and the John Ford classic Stagecoach, with John Wayne.[9]

Her final acting performance was in a small role as Louisa Ames in Mourning Becomes Electra in 1947, starring Rosalind Russell.[10]

Personal life and death

Cecil was married to real estate broker Russell Evans, who died in 1949. They had two children: Dorothy Cecil, who was also an actress, with a short stage-career, and Kenneth Russell Evans, who became a petroleum engineer.[3]

She was cremated.[citation needed]
