@RedMambaYard yes, I followed in Garbo's footsteps when I was there in September 2005, the people who live in the block where her apartment once stood were very friendly and very rproud of her, and welcomed people into the garden to celebrate the 100th anniversary of her birth
I finally managed to visit her grave this June (2010). It is beautiful, impressive and dignified. It occupies a much larger section of the cemetary than an ordinary grave. It has been beautifully landscaped.
Oh no its simple and huge. Although there is only her name on the stone, the stone is sited on a huge circular mound which is approached by steps and then sunken stepping stone leading to the headstone. the whole thing is so impressive. Unfortunately the vid does not show all. Next time I go I shall vid ALL of it.
thank u 4 posting this,im a massive fan of Garbo,its nice 2 read what other fans including yourself think of her. visiting her resting place is 1 thing i want 2 do. R.I.P Greta.xxx
Garbo gazed into the camera and seduced the world. She's still is by far the most alluring & mysterious Goddess the screen has ever seen. Whether it's was in her eyes, or her bone structure or what she was thinking, there's was an aura to her. Everything she had, she gave to the camera. The rest was silence, exile and the cunning preservation of her own mystique.
You have caught the beauty and spirit of her eternal appeal. Satie's music also reenforces the natural sadness that seemed to engulf her later in life. But how great that we have the treasure of her face forever...it needs no context of any of her films.
Sad that she is gone! Her gravestone is great and different! Her signature is so famously! Charm! Flowers are so very lovely! Imagine that she died from Easter Day!
thanks for posting, in what cemetery is it?

@RedMambaYard
Skogskyrkogarden, south of Stockholm, same cemetery as her mother, father and sister interred in a separate grave.

she had close relationships with both men and women, why do you need to put a label on her? She was Garbo, she was unique.
