Robinson offered his opinion, she thanked him, and he never saw her a second time. Robinson answered his doorbell to find the greatest actress of his generation seeking his appraisal of a painting she was considering buying for $200, a laughably small sum for a woman whose estate would one day be valued at $55 million. She relied on friends, low-paid assistants and even strangers to guide her decisions, big and small. New York shop owners knew her more as a browser than a buyer. Garbo's parsimony was as legendary as her beauty. People who met her often commented on how little she offered in the way of interesting conversation - likely shyness combined with a lack of education beyond her early teens - yet she laughed more than one might expect. (One suitor claimed she had an inability to love.) She diminished the beauty that entranced moviegoers with slacks and sweaters that could have used a good washing. She had plenty of men in her life - and more than a few women - but never married. She loved children but never had her own. Photographers pursued her throughout her five decades of retirement.

In вЂњGrand HotelвЂќ (1932) Garbo famously lamented, вЂњI want to be alone,вЂќ but in real life she was no recluse, just a woman who no longer wanted to be in the public eye. came the heavy chains of contract work and never-ending demands on her time. She longed to be an actress, putting on shows as a child, and worked tirelessly to gain a place in the theater. Greta Gustafsson endured the humiliations of poverty growing up in Stockholm but found little joy or comfort in the millions she earned in Hollywood as Garbo. Gottlieb, a longtime book editor and publishing executive as well as a writer and critic, presents an early 20th century life with all the trappings of a season of TV's вЂњFeud.вЂќ In Garbo's case, however, the quarrel was not with a bitter rival (Marlene Dietrich may have come closest, if only in her own mind) but with Garbo herself. She more or less walked away from her career in 1941 yet retained a grip on the public's imagination up to her death, at 84, in 1990. She appeared in three European feature films, then just 25 films in Hollywood, all for MGM and nearly half of them silent. Why care about Garbo today? After all, her movies are rarely seen outside of TCM.
