GARBO

by Robert Gottlieb

Offers a vivid and thorough retelling of Greta Garbo's life, beginning in the slums of Stockholm through her years of struggling to elude the attention of the world. Garbo had no personal vanity, no interest in clothes and makeup, yet her story is essentially the story of a face--and the camera. Includes 250 movie stills, formal portraits and revealing snapshots.
