While technically not a great singer, Glenn is without question the best actor who portrayed the iconic (and fictional) aging silent film star, Norma Desmond, on stage. This kind of acting alone deserves both a Tony and an Oscar (hint, hint ALW). She could have been the definitive Norma if only she had the phenomenal vocal chops of either Betty Buckley or Elaine Paige.

After concealing http://sunset50blvd.blogspot.com/ the car, he hears a woman calling him, apparently mistaking him for someone else. Ushered in by Max, the butler, Joe recognizes the woman as long-forgotten silent film star Norma Desmond. Learning he is a writer, she asks his opinion of a script she has written for a film about Salome.
This bizarre curiosity is basically only of interest to hard-core musical theatre devotees. It has never been generally released and as most of the numbers are accompanied simply by a piano it seems to be a demo to promote the "show" to theatrical producers. I have no further information about this extraordinary recording which features Gloria Swanson, apart from what is on the sleeve - there are no other details. The parts of ‘Max' and ‘Joe' are not credited, neither is the date of the recording, though as it's recorded in stereo it's presumably at least into the 1960s (possibly late 50s). There are long dialogue scenes to link the songs and it's particularly interesting to hear Swanson actually singing. The short notes on the sleeve read "This adaption of "Sunset Boulevard" follows the b...
