In this vein, Garbo starred in Grand Hotel (1932), Queen Christina (1933), Anna Karenina (1935), and Camille (1936), which served to increase her worshipful fan following, even if the films weren't the box-office smashes her silent pictures had been. The actress' legendary aloofness and desire to be alone (a phrase she used often in her films, once to comic effect in Ninotchka) added to her appeal, though less starry-eyed observers like radio comedians and animated-cartoon directors found Garbo a convenient target for satire and lampoon.

Little more need be said about Greta Garbo, who is better known for her talkies than her silents. But she was an extraordinary in her silents as her later films. Fortunately, all but one survive and show regularly on TCM and at silent film festivals, making her one of the most accessible silent stars.

Greta Garbo was raised in a time where it was essential for a lady to look classy. Greta never failed to let her fans down in that aspect. Her locks were always impeccably styled in gorgeous, medium length waves.

Throughout this period, Garbo was slowly emerging as a Galatea molded by a series of corporate Pygmalions. In photographs and films one can see her change from a pudgy shopgirl, through various metamorphoses as she enters the studio machinery, until she turns into the perfect Sphinx, the "face" captured in famous pictures by Steichen and Clarence Bull and other photographers of the period.
