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? |
