The Great Greta Garbo

Glamorous, compelling, and ever so famous was the iconic movie star, Greta Garbo. She graced Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s with films like “Wild Orchids” and “The Kiss.” Altogether, she starred in thirty-three films and captivated men and women alike.

Greta was born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson on September 18, 1905 in Stockholm, Sweden and died April 15, 1990 in New York City at the age of 84 to pneumonia. Her childhood was that of poverty where her family lived in the slums. Her father was an itinerant laborer and didn’t earn much money to give his family the life he wanted for them to have. When Greta was old enough to work, she took various positions to help ease the strain of supporting the family.

One fateful day, film director Erik Petschler saw Greta and was mesmerized with her beauty after seeing her in a commercial advertising women’s clothing and he offered her a small role in his 1922 film “Peter the Tramp.” She was bitten by the acting bug and she started school at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm. She landed a major role in a 1925 Swedish movie “Gösta Berlings Saga” (The Saga of Gösta Berling). The director, Mauritz Stiller changed her birth name to Garbo as he felt it was fitting and becoming for her unique beauty. Seeing her potential, he negotiated with MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) Studios in Hollywood and secured her a contract. Louis B. Mayer had doubts about Greta’s screen performance until the release of her first American 1926 film “The Torrent.” Her lustrous glow and the fluidity of how she moved impressed Mayer so much so that he gave her an exclusive contract.

1930’s “Anna Christie” was Greta’s first sound film. The movie was marketed with “Garbo talks!” She would earn three Oscar nominations for best actress for her performances in “Anna Christie,” “Camille,” and for “Ninotchka.” She never did win, but she did receive an Honorary Academy Award in 1955. She won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for best actress for her performance in 1935’s Anna Karenina. Her last film was “Two-Faced Woman” in 1941 and it received bad reviews that greatly humiliated her. Her acting life halted despite offers for other films after the movie flop.

Greta never married nor did she have children. Her first romance was with her often co-Star John Gilbert. In her latter years, she had a relationship with Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. It’s rumored that she had an affair with Russian-born millionaire George Schlee, stealing him from his wife. It’s specualted that Greta was bisexual, some would claim she was predominantly lesbian, but no one could confirm that. Though she appeared in events, she disliked the feeling uncomfortable acting like a socialite because it wasn’t who she was.

Greta would live the remainder of her life in a New York City apartment. She was an honored guest in the White House and She received treatment for breast cancer and would have dialysis treatment at a local hospital where she would later die from pneumonia. She will always be regarded as one of the most beautiful and graceful women that gifted us with her talent.

Until next time, Aloha oe.

respectably i need an opinion and i apologise that this has nothing to do with my blog. basically someone messaged me asking for my extremely rare plush keychain, and said to skip making a kandi cuff for it.

am i?? idk?? valid?? for basically saying "this is very valuable and i don't feel right just giving it to you at reduced price when it could be used for someone's cuff. it will still be the same price as a cuff, as i'm not able to find a replacement for this charm at the current time."

like idk it's so unbelievably rare and i feel like it would be a waste of a charm to not use it for a cuff. :-( but idk. asking for $40aud + shipping for just a lil guy sounds. shitty.

#bun talks #not blog related #i feel like garbo

THEY STOPPED AIRING WORDGIRL MY LIFE IS OVER!

#Snuggled all up and turned off my laptop to hear what my brain wants to hear. That Wordgirl is made possible by contributions to your PBS #station from viewers like you. #BUT THEN THEY STARTED TALKING ABOUT THAT DONKEY DUDE! I hate that donkey dude! #I'm not even sure if his show is utter garbo but he just ruined my life. #This is where I derived my joy.

suburban mothers worried that video games make us violent? not quite. it is the radio that makes us violent. was listening to my punk station and the dj mentioned something about t*ylor s*ift. the pedestrians were spared today but one day we can't be certain

#personal pig #they do not pay you radio wages to be talking about garbo #can you just play NOFX or something

#cylas speaks #alt timeline I'd defo need to talk to blue probably for inspi #*inspo #or maybe she could actually meet odile xD #with clay it'd probably just be random fluffy hanging out stuff? idk #got all the ideas for selena and the other cylasxdarrell thing #also know whats gonna happen next with lee #no idea about taylor though #see I'll be sitting around feeling like garbo all day and then it's like 10 am and brain goes 'LET'S GO LET'S DO THIS' #bish why

a youtuber i follow posted a new manga haul and one of the volumes was called “run on your new legs”. i was curious and looked it up and its a sports manga about a soccer player who lost his leg in an accident, and starts playing again using a prosthetic

its completed at about 15 chapters and based on the ratings on mangago (lol) it’s probably going to be a good one. i’m going to read this on the bus ride home tonignt

#desiree talks #desiree reads #i will still say that manga tends to have more interesting premises than manhwa and manhua ive read #i still have to see if that one manga about the boy who gets into rhythmic gymnastics in his small town got more chapters translated #oh and i hope the isekai trend dies out bc theres a lot of garbo #like i heard theres a series where this guy buys an enslaved animal girl?? and they fall in love #when he still takes the role of ‘master’ *gag*
