There was a movie star about which I have said for decades got very far despite having only average "looks" and having below average acting talent. But, being married to a studio head didn't hurt. Watching Norma Shearer act can at times be painful for me.
Does anybody else have this problem with an Academy Award winning star?

Marsha Mason has never won an Oscar, but she's been nominated four times. I just find her a bit of a limp rag on-camera, not noticeably good-looking nor noticeably thespically gifted; I've always felt that had she been married to someone other than mega-playwright Neil Simon, her acting career would never have gotten to the levels it did.

I never much cared for her, either. She's not unlikeable necessarily, she's just not charismatic. Part of it could be due to Neil Simon's obnoxious laughing-through-tears schtick, which gets old really fast.

I have only seen "The Women", and I didn't like Shearer in that movie, performance or character. She was just too grandly virtuous.
