Never seen one of her movies although love old black and white cinema. I guess I must find something. I just read that they are going to put her face on the Swedish money. I think that might be the first time that has happened for an actor? Not a special one off coin but the actual 100 krona banknote.
@TheChihuahau we feel the same sort of national pride in denmark, with our actors in the USA doing well... Nicolaj Coster Waldau, Thure Lindhardt, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Connie Nielsen... cant help but feel a little proud, being such a small country and having spawned so many great artists, writers and sportsmen.
She wasn't so much an actress as a presence. One of those people who come along just at the right time. She would not have been as successful today as she was back then. She knew when to quit and why it was necessary. She once said that "there is no longer any place for me in this world." She simply meant her time was over and she needed to stop being Garbo. She was smart.
Thanks for the info and the photo series of portraits made of this fine actress of that early era of US and European film making.
I think there is a film clip of HER CHARACTER saying; I want to be alone, but it's the film charachter, and she does it so well, dramatically, people also imagine she, as a person said it in real life: the confuse the two. LoL. She was one of the best lady actresses imo; it's a treaure to see her old work, and the skillful film techs and directors she worked with.
The Riesfield's have always censored Greta's legacy (especially the nephew) by editing and censoring hundreds of letters between her and her life long love Mimi Pollack. They refuse blindly to accept that Greta really was terribly sad, and felt hugely misunderstood. Her love for Mimi and the way in which she refered to herself as a 'yougn man' clearly makes them uncomfortable but instead of accepting the real person she was, they are censoring her life to reflect what they want it to be.Shameful
One of the great events in movie history was when Greta Garbo so reclusive and myserious visited her favorite actress Susan Hayward dying of cancer...to try and bring cheer to Susan.
greta garbo , so lovely, so forlorn of a look, like she were looking outside another world.
i loved her work, i though appreciate all my movies in black & white, it relaxes me, plus when my mum would put on a classic, well it was b&w, were all different i guess
The most amazing actress...what she and John Gilbert did with a cigarette in The Flesh and the Devil ....probabaly the most sexy moment in Hollywood history.
Totally agree! Garbo even her name sounds sexy. She really was a goddess! I love Flesh and the Devil..and the music while they were dancing..,ahhh!!beautiful.They made a perfect couple she and Gilbert.
Everyone who says she wasn't such a great actress. You mustn´t forget she did all her parts in a foreign language! But she WAS a pupil at Sweden's most prestigious theatre school. (which also bred pupils like Ingrid Bergman, Max von Sydow, Erland Josephson, Bibi Andersson and Lena Olin.) And she did do some roles in the Royal Dramatic Theatre. (while at the school.) As a Swede I would SO have wanted to see (and hear) her in a Swedish film or play!
A great actress...no, but you could forgive anything with that face. She had the most expressive eyes I've ever seen on the screen. I am thankful we can still see her in her glory.
Greta es la divina, una mujer muy de caracter fuerte y liberal , para su epoca era toda una revolucionaria feminista.

@sanjac07 and don't forget Ninotchka's delightful take-off on the classic line. When asked if she wants to be alone, she says no.
