BCEFA Broadway Legends Ornament 2020: Norma Desmond#1

This year’s ornament is Glenn Close as Norma Desmond! Anyone going to purchase? I definitely will be, because Sunset is one of my favorite films and musicals, and I would like to support the industry during this season. I know some people collect all of these, which do you have in your collection already?

Order the ornament here!

“I’m sure Norma Desmond would be thrilled to be a gorgeous Christmas ornament—as long as she is hung in a good light!" says Close. "Joining this lineup of legends as one of the most iconic characters of Broadway is a special honor. Broadway Cares has always been near and dear to my heart, and I’m thrilled Norma can help others while bringing a little holiday cheer into homes across the country.”

I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

I for one love it, and mine is ordered! I would have preferred the costume for As If We Never Said Goodbye - but I still can’t wait for it to get here!

I think the costume is great, the face is bizarre. It looks like Lainie Kazan as Norma. I’ll buy it because it’s charity and I love SUNSET BOULEVARD. However, the other ornaments at least tried for a likeness. This one is a miss.

My first reaction was similar to yours, Bettyboy, in that I knew who it was because the costume details actually seem to be really well done, but the face looks like they painted some features on a thumb. They done Glenn dirty with this one.

Glen Hanson is the artist who’s work is used for these ornaments. Google him.

Here is his illustration that was used for this new Christmas ornament.

Ok, I will say that the ornament looks a little better in this photo at another angle. The one being widely circulated, which I think is also the image used on the BC/EFA site is not a good representation.
