Date Sold 9/29/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. She first rose to prominence in a movie in her native Sweden, and then attracted the interest of Hollywood, but she would only sign a contract if they would sign her director as well, and MGM agreed! Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this still is from when Garbo first came to the U.S. in 1925. She was about to appear in "The Torrent", and she was promoted by Louis B. Mayer as "the athletic type", with a series of publicity photos showing her riding a horse on the beach at Santa Monica, and this is one of the photos from that set. It was used in a fan magazine, and is stamped "Roto Copy, Rush Blue Print for March Hollywood, page 25". Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Condition: very good. The still has slightly darkened and there are a few faint creases and smudges around the edges, but it is otherwise in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
