Reevaluating Greta Garbo: 100 Years Later
Greta Garbo, the iconic Hollywood star, made her screen debut 100 years ago in the Swedish silent film The Saga of Gösta Berling. Despite her brief film career of 28 movies, she became a symbol of the exotic and emotionally distant in Hollywood. After retiring at 35, she lived a reclusive life in New York, with a packed social schedule and a love for literature and MTV. Hollywood later paid homage to her in films like The Legend of Lylah Clare and Fedora. Garbo's legacy endures as she continues to symbolize the studio era while remaining enigmatic and in search of something colder.
