Greta Garbo [Actress]

Some Garbo quotes . . .

"Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening."

"Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them."

"If you are blessed, you are blessed, whether you are married or single."

"There are some who want to get married and others who don't. I have never had an impulse to go to the altar. I am a difficult person to lead."

"Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it."

So glamourous

You know I've read and heard (in articles and documentaries) that those are her REAL eyelashes. They may look fake, but she apparently had these freakishly long eyelashes that they just totally covered in layers and layers of mascara!

She's freakin' amazing. Beauty, talent, brains and class. They don't make them like that anymore.

She sort of looks like pictures of my grandmother when she was young. Well the first photograph atleast.

HWBL - you NEVER cease to amaze me.

I have two books on her including a large coffee table book with Garbo, Dietrich, Crawford. They show how she transformed into a beauty with the right brows, eye makeup, teeth and hair straightening. What bones structure she had.

Hehehe, great minds, huh?
Yes, I saw several documentaries on her. She was this big, chubby, dark haired, permed girl with crooked teeth, yet her potential really shone through. They saw it right, a diamond in the rough. She never had any real PS, though, only teeth straightening, diet and overall make-over. No knives involved! (Aside from the freakishly long eyelashes, she also had huge feet, I've heard! In period pieces, she was known to wear sneakers or men's shoes underneath the long historical gowns! )

I have a VHS of Grand Hotel with her and John Barrymore, among others. She is like a beautiful panther. I cannot take my eyes off her. She moves and speaks beautifully, and is a very good actress, not afraid to show emotion. I cannot help loving her.

Her nickname The Face says it all.

It's amazing what eyebrow reshaping can do to a persons face!
