norma desmond 

Norma Desmond is a character from the 1950 classic noir film Sunset Boulevard directed by Billy Wilder.

Some quotes:
"No one leaves a star. That's what makes one a star."

"We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!"

"There once was a time in this business when I had the eyes of the whole world! But that wasn't good enough for them, oh no! They had to have the ears of the whole world too. So they opened their big mouths and out came talk. Talk! TALK!"

"The stars are ageless, aren't they?"
I named my cat Norma, like Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.
