Yes, absolutely! I think she was a very skilled actress that indeed stood out from the crowd of pretty heads. I clearly remember the first movie I saw with her. It was a dark and rainy winterday, I was down with a flu, turned on the tv out of boredom and found an old silent movie. I was caught by this - in reality repulsive and naive - lovestory about a courtisan suffering form TB. Afterwards I called my mother and told her about the movie and the sick plot of it, but that I had been totally convinced and moved by a very wonderful actress, whose name I - alas - hadn't got. She told me that it had to be Greta Garbo in "The Lady of the Camelias", and so it was. I'm still surprised when I watch her works. She seems so natural in most parts - and yet, her portraits are so very detailed. I'd love to own all her movies.

It was an incredible exhibition, Lesley and I went this past Saturday. Oh, the perfection of her face, the enigma of her expression. The more she was desired, the more she withdrew. I love Scandinavian Society...a little jewel with the best cafe on the ground floor. If you visit NYC, try to make time for a visit.

Ahhhh, Garbo...

Garbo is one of my most favorite Golden Age of Hollywood actresses. She was just glorious in her own strange/beguiling way. I love Camille, Ninotchka, Anna Karenina, Anna Christie, Woman of Affairs, etc... from her. There was no else like Garbo and there will never be no ever like her again. Absolute one of a kind individual.
