Take Billy Wilder&#8217;s 1950 masterpiece &#8220;Sunset Boulevard,&#8221; which premiered 75 years ago this month.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gillis: &#8220;You&#8217;re Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big.&#8221;<br \/>Desmond: &#8220;I AM big. It&#8217;s the pictures that got small.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The film was anything but small! The legendary director had Gloria Swanson as the rejected silent film star, Norma Desmond, who seemed to be going quietly out of her mind; and William Holden as the failed screenwriter Joe Gillis, who became her kept man. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She was 52 at the time; William Holden was 31,&#8221; said UT Austin film professor Noah Isenberg. &#8220;The age difference was extraordinary. Today we might not think much of it, but it was big.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Isenberg says the noir &#8220;Sunset Boulevard&#8221; tested the limits of what a 1950 audience would bear. The opening scene is gruesome enough, with the murdered Gillis face down in a swimming pool. But the film originally started in the L.A. morgue, with Gillis and other cadavers talking about how they got there. \u00a0Isenberg said, &#8220;It was too dark, too morbid. Audiences weren&#8217;t ready for it. Instead, you have John Seitz&#8217;s camera trained on that curb.&#8221; Appropriately, the film begins in the gutter.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/09\/aecf1485-57fa-4bf2-ac4b-1d9e8018588b\/thumbnail\/620x349\/c856b095ccd96bcf4097c5233412141f\/gloria-swanson-filming-sunset-boulevard.jpg#\" alt=\"gloria-swanson-filming-sunset-boulevard.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/09\/aecf1485-57fa-4bf2-ac4b-1d9e8018588b\/thumbnail\/620x349\/c856b095ccd96bcf4097c5233412141f\/gloria-swanson-filming-sunset-boulevard.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/09\/aecf1485-57fa-4bf2-ac4b-1d9e8018588b\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/d66fd7f134f5f9f1e3c838ba47b5e4ce\/gloria-swanson-filming-sunset-boulevard.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Gloria Swanson, as Norma Desmond, filming Billy Wilder&#8217;s &#8220;Sunset Boulevard&#8221; (1950).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Paramount Pictures<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The original film, now restored in glorious 4K ultra hi-def, is available from Paramount.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Olson was only 21 when she played aspiring writer Betty Schaefer opposite Holden&#8217;s Gillis.

Sir Andrew was intrigued by the story of Hollywood discarding aging stars, and got the blessing of Wilder, who by then was being gently phased out of Hollywood himself \u2013 in his own way getting the Norma Desmond treatment. Webber said, &#8220;He does tell a wonderful story about him going to see some young movie executive who had just been there. And this young executive says to him, &#8216;Um, well, Mr. Wilder, we&#8217;re very impressed by this screenplay that you&#8217;ve done, but it would be really helpful if you could tell me what you have done in the past?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The director of such classics as &#8220;Double Indemnity,&#8221; &#8220;The Lost Weekend,&#8221; &#8220;Ace in the Hole,&#8221; &#8220;Some Like It Hot,&#8221; and &#8220;The Apartment,&#8221; turned to the young executive and said, &#8220;You first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sunset Boulevard,&#8221; the musical, opened in London&#8217;s West End in 1993, with Patti LuPone as Desmond; when they brought the show to Los Angeles and New York, Glenn Close played the lead. \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>And in the latest, radically re-conceived version, Desmond was played by former pop star Nicole Scherzinger.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/09\/4c7cb5b7-27db-42de-996d-bdc51d8d0f35\/thumbnail\/620x465\/4a4162d26ef548c3da6ffbae1a9d08de\/sunset-boulevard-nicole-scherzinger.jpg#\" alt=\"sunset-boulevard-nicole-scherzinger.jpg \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/09\/4c7cb5b7-27db-42de-996d-bdc51d8d0f35\/thumbnail\/620x465\/4a4162d26ef548c3da6ffbae1a9d08de\/sunset-boulevard-nicole-scherzinger.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/09\/4c7cb5b7-27db-42de-996d-bdc51d8d0f35\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/2185d3635dab2b606bbc972858f1931c\/sunset-boulevard-nicole-scherzinger.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Nicole Scherzinger as Norma Desmond in the Broadway revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber&#8217;s &#8220;Sunset Boulevard.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                &#8220;Sunset Boulevard&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Asked about seeing Scherzinger in the role of Norma Desmond, Webber said, &#8220;I have always rated Nicole as one of the most astounding singers I&#8217;ve ever worked with.
