Greer Garson: Movies

Retriever  > Arts  > Acting
Greer Garson was actually older than most of the golden-era actors and actresses who preceded her in the movie business. She was born on September 29, 1904 in London (not 1908, not Ireland), a day which Jane Austen had prophetically mentioned on the very first page of "Pride and Prejudice."
Greer Garson, the actress who epitomized a noble, wise and courageous wife in some of the sleekest and most sentimental American movies of the 1940's, died yesterday morning at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. She was 92.
In the 1920's, Greer loved to go to the movies, and one of her favourite silent stars was Ronald Colman. So what a dream-come-true is must've been for her to star with him in 1942 in one of the most romantic movies ever made, "Random Harvest."
Garson did a more than a good job in Broadway and the people warmed up to her once again. The actress made her final movie appearance in 1967 in The Happiest Millionaire.
