[00:00.291] MAX:
[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?
