Greta Garbo


 Born in Sweden, Greta Garbo worked in a department store as a teen to support her impoverished, fatherless family. The store used her in a short advertising film, which helped her get minor parts in Swedish films. She decided to attend film school, where a Swedish film director pulled her for a part in his movie, which then led to Hollywood roles. She appeared in several silent movies before her first “talkie” in 1930 and starred in many 1930s movies including Mata Hari (1930) and Grand Hotel (1932). She was known for her intense style and enigmatic personality. After WW II, she retired from film and led a life of seclusion until she died in 1990. She’s on the set here in 1932.
