The Hollywood star of extraordinary beauty and legendary acting talent was realized through notable roles in the films Anna Christie, Grand Hotel, Anna Karenina, Lady with Camellias, Ninochka and many others, creating a kind of myth about herself.
I don't want to be a stupid seductress. I don't see the point of dressing nicely and seducing men, doing nothing but that, said the actress with a recognizable acting style, Greta Garbo, based on a combination of restraint and artificiality with which she evoked a systematic, rich, but contradictory emotional life for unattainable women.
This European who enchanted Hollywood, born in 1905 in Stockholm, was an American actress of Swedish origin and one of the greatest actresses of the 1930s. She was born into a poor provincial family, and from an early age Greta and her sister and brother were accustomed to a modest and difficult life. After she turned fourteen, she lost her father and remained living with her mother and sister, who continued to take care of her younger brother and her. Greta was prone to daydreaming, so as a child she dreamed of one day becoming an actress.
Since she did not have the funds to continue her education, she worked as a saleswoman and hat designer. Her employer recognized her beauty and creativity and promoted her to a model. She acted in a commercial for women's clothing, and then tried her hand as an extra in the film Wandering Peter, after which she enrolled in acting at the Royal School of Dramatic Arts in Stockholm. In 1925, she got her first role in the film Street Without Joy, after which everyone was fascinated by her, so she continued her acting career in Hollywood without any problems. Having made over eight silent films, she became one of the most sought-after Hollywood actresses. In most of them, she was in a relationship with John Gilbert, with whom she was in an emotional relationship in private.
Despite her great popularity in silent films, the producers decided to give her a role in a sound film, because of her Swedish accent, and accordingly she was given the role of a port prostitute in the film Anna Christie, for which she won the Oscar for Best Leading Actress.
This was followed by another Oscar for the role in the film Romance, after which Greta Garbo's reputation grew, so the next films Mata Hari and Grand Hotel became blockbusters, and Greta Garbo was at the peak of popularity. In 1936, Garbo was nominated for the third Oscar for her role in the film The Lady with the Camellias, while the role of the French courtesan became her trademark.
Soon, after only three years, she was nominated for the fourth Oscar for her role in the film Ninočka. The last film she made, which was considered a failure by critics, was the comedy Woman with Two Faces, and Greta Garbo called this film her grave and decided to retire.
The non-communicative, mysterious Greta Garbo, called a Swedish sphinx and a mysterious stranger, was often the subject of gossip caused by her unexplained love life. It is known that her greatest love was a man, but numerous relationships with women cannot be ignored. Much can be learned about her affair with women from McLellan's The Girls, which contains information about many public and undercover lesbians of the time, including Isidora Duncan, Hattie McDaniel, Patsy Kelly, Elizabeth Scott, and the infamous heartthrob, Marlin Dietrich. .
This intriguing and divine film diva died in New York in 1990, and her urn was transferred to her native Stockholm. After her death, Greta Garbo's admiration did not stop and does not stop, and this is evidenced by the interesting fact that her cigarette butt reached a price of 352 dollars at a Hollywood auction.
