Greta Garbo: Life
built 628 days ago
Like Gone With the Wind, Greta Garbo is monumentally overrated. Her voice is deep, she has no humor, her figure is flat, her carriage is not graceful, her feet are big, her private life is a fog. Only her face is perfect.

Focusing entirely on Garbo's films (though there's much here too about her life), Vieira celebrates the great star's career in a well-researched and thoughtful text. The story is accompanied by copious stills and photos in an oversize format (9.25X12.25").

Garbo lived the last years of her life in absolute seclusion. She had invested very wisely, particularly in commercial property along Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, was known for extreme frugality, and was a very wealthy woman.

Life wasn't easy for little Greta because her dad with whom she was very close, died when she was 14 years old. Financial circumstances must have been very trying because she left school and found a job.
