Quotes:
  • I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.
  • Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them.
  • There are some who want to get married and others who don't. I have never had an impulse to go to the altar. I am a difficult person to lead.
  • I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is a whole world of difference.

Greta Garbo Trivia
  • Interred at Skogskyrkogården Cemetery, Stockholm, Sweden.
  • In the mid-1950s she bought a seven-room-apartment in New York City (450 East 52nd Street) and lived there until she died.
  • Her first "talkie" film was Anna Christie (1930).
  • Garbo's sets were closed to all visitors and sometimes even the director! When asked why, she said: "During these scenes I allow only the cameraman and lighting man on the set. The director goes out for a coffee or a milkshake. When people are watching, I'm just a woman making faces for the camera. It destroys the illusion. If I am by myself, my face will do things I cannot do with it otherwise."
  • Left John Gilbert standing at the altar in 1927 when she got cold feet about marrying him.
