- Greta Garbo (born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson, 1905–1990) was a Swedish actress primarily known for her work in the United States during Hollywood's silent film period and part of its subsequent Golden Age. Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, she moved to Los Angeles, California in 1925 to develop her film career. She appeared in only 27 movies, yet she remains one of the most popular and recognizable Hollywood stars. The MGM marketing ploy "Garbo talks" became a catch-phrase of the 1930s. Her popularity with the Depression-era audiences allowed her to dictate the terms of her contract in 1932, and she became increasingly choosy about her roles. After 1941, she accepted no more roles, and retired to an apartment in New York City.
- Her film career was relatively short and she really belonged to a different film era. Her 'Garboesque' figure in tailored in dresses that appeared to be made out of paper and her 'don't look, don't touch, don't spit' attitude soon saw her career dwindle away. By 1941 after appearing as a Russian flirt (with her voice a few more octaves down than before) in Ninotchka and then playing a pair of supposed twins in The Two-Faced Woman, Garbo officially retired and took up a life incognito for the rest of her years.
- Greta Garbo, de son vrai nom Greta Lovisa Gustafsson, était une actrice suédoise, née le 18 septembre 1905 à Stockholm en Suède, décédée le 15 avril 1990 à New-York ( USA). Elle fut surnommée « la Divine ». Federico Fellini a dit d'elle : « Elle fut la fondatrice d'un ordre religieux appelé cinéma. »
