Film 101 – Cinema Greats 23: Greta GarboBorn in Stockholm, Sweden, on Sept. 18, 1905Birth Name: Greta Lovisa Gustafsson Ht. 5’ 7½’’ Died: 15 April, 1990Greta Garbo’s father died when she was only 14 which caused her to seek work to help her mother and siblings. She worked in a department store and was used in ads and a film commercial. Her appearance caught the attention of director Erik Petschler who used her in a short comedy. From here, Garbo enrolled in The Royal Dramatic Theatre’s Acting School and was soon signed by Mauritz Stiller for The Saga of Gosta Berling (1924). The following year she starred in G.W. Pabst’s German film The Joyless Street. Louis B. Mayer saw the potential of Garbo and signed her for The Temptress (1926) which led to many more films with MGM. Her first talkie Anna Christie (1930) gained her the first of four Academy Award nominations. As her star rose, ‘Garbomania’ struck at her premieres with throngs of fans waiting to see her films. Her final film was Two-Faced Woman (1941) directed by George Cukor. She retired in 1949 at the age of 44 and became a U.S. citizen in 1950. She never married but was romantically involved with John Gilbert, her co-star in four films. Garbo had wisely invested in the stock market and had an art collection worth millions. She lived the rest of her life out of the public eye but socialized with her closest friends until her death.Must See Movies:Gosta Berlings Saga 1924The Joyless Street 1925Torrent 1926The Temptress 1926Flesh and the Devil 1927Love 1927The Divine Woman 1928The Mysterious Lady 1928A Woman of Affairs 1928Wild Orchids 1929The Single Standard 1929The Kiss 1929Anna Christie 1930Mata Hari 1931Grand Hotel 1932Queen Christina 1933Anna Karenina 1935Camille 1936Ninotchka 1939These movies can be found at: Kensington Video – San Diego
