Description
It's been a long-held belief that May Murray, in her declining years, was the inspiration for the Norma Desmond character in Billy Wilder's SUNSET BLVD., though Wilder never confirmed it. What we offer is a 12 page probate file outlining Murray's minimal (valued at less than $500) possessions, turned over to the State of California Public Administrator after her death and eventually sold at auction. A little IMDB trivia: Rudolph Valentino was best man at her 1926 marriage to Prince David Mdivani, and Pola Negri was matron of honor.
