GRETA GARBO (personality) GRETA GARBO (personality) canceled check OR search current auctions Auction History Result 3x0050 GRETA GARBO signed canceled check 1979 getting $5,000 cash for herself, she signed it TWICE! Date Sold 2/19/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 3 1/2" x 6" [9 x 15 cm] Canceled Check (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 canceled check has been personally autographed (signed) TWICE by Greta Garbo (she signed the front, AND, because it was made out to cash, she also endorsed it on the back)! So the winner of this auction gets TWO Greta Garbo signatures for the price of one. We also wonder what she was doing with $5,000 cash, in 1979, which was a HUGE sum of money for that time! Our consignor is a relative of Greta Garbo, and he inherited this directly from her estate. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we are certain the signature is authentic. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good.
