There’s no worse sin a Holly­
Vintage Hollywood splashes across wood actress can commit than the sin
o f getting older. For fading silent film
star Norma Desmond, life after the
silver screen was a forced retreat into
a luxurious Sunset Boulevard man­

Linda Mugleston stars in
Sunset Boulevard, the Andrew
Lloyd Webber musical adaption
by Portland Center Stage at the
Gerding Theater at the Armory.

Enter the handsome but desti­
tute young writer Joe Gillis, on the Boulevard, the blockbuster movie
lam from the repo man and looking classic that launched W illiam
for anything that might keep his Holden’s career and re-launched
belly full and his car o ff the street for

into her bed) she spins a web o f
jealous, defiant illusions that ulti­
mately ensnares them both.

opera. After all, what is Norma if not
