[00:00.824] |
Once, you won't remember |
[00:08.283] |
If you said Hollywood, |
[00:12.810] |
hers was the face you'd think of |
[00:18.208] |
Her face on every billboard |
[00:27.264] |
In just a single week, |
[00:31.049] |
she's get ten thousand letters |
[00:35.449] |
Men would offer |
[00:39.210] |
Fortunes for a bloom from her corsage |
[00:44.273] |
Or a few strands of her hair |
[00:53.409] |
Today, she's half-forgotten |
[00:58.657] |
But it's the pictures that got small |
[01:04.391] |
She is the greatest star of all |
[01:11.554] |
Then, you can't imagine |
[01:15.885] |
How fans would sacrifice themselves to touch her shadow |
[01:23.210] |
There was a maharajah |
[01:28.864] |
Who hanged himself with one of her discarded stockings |
[01:35.853] |
She's immortal |
[01:39.986] |
Caught inside that flickering light beam |
[01:44.991] |
Is a youth which cannot fade |
[01:54.348] |
Madame's a living legend; |
[02:02.531] |
I've seen so many idols fall |
[02:11.622] |
She is the greatest star of all |
[02:42.696] |
JOE: |
[02:44.878] |
When he'd gone, |
[02:46.654] |
I stook looking out the window for a while. |
[02:50.800] |
There was the ghost of a tennis court with faded markings and a sagging net. |
[02:58.114] |
There was an empty pool where Clara Bows |
[03:03.676] |
and Fatty Arbuckle must have swum 10,000 midnights ago. |
[03:10.964] |
And then there was something else: |
[03:14.749] |
the chimp's last rites, as if she were laying |
[03:20.894] |
a child to rest. |
[03:26.771] |
Was her life really as empty as that? |
