Greta Garbo, born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson on September 18, 1905, in Stockholm, Sweden, was a legendary actress and an icon of Hollywood’s Golden Age. She is considered one of the greatest actresses in the history of cinema.
Garbo began her acting career in silent films in Sweden during the 1920s. Her breakthrough came when she starred in the 1924 film “The Saga of Gosta Berling.” In 1925, she caught the attention of MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer, who brought her to Hollywood. Her first American film, “Torrent,” was released in 1926, and her unique beauty and magnetic screen presence quickly made her a star.
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Garbo’s career soared with remarkable performances in films like “Flesh and the Devil,” “Anna Christie,” “Grand Hotel,” and “Camille.” She earned four Academy Award nominations but famously never won the Oscar, which only added to her enigmatic allure.
However, Garbo’s career took a turn after the 1939 film “Two-Faced Woman,” as she decided to retire from acting at the age of 35. She lived a reclusive life for the rest of her days, seldom appearing in public or granting interviews.
Despite her withdrawal from the spotlight, Greta Garbo’s legacy endures, and her influence on film and fashion remains profound. She passed away on April 15, 1990, but her performances and enigmatic persona continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
