Robert Dance On How GRETA GARBO CONQUERED Hollywood!

[@philiphalpenny9761]

Life magazine, in 1928, dubbed Miss Garbo:" the dream Princess of eternity"...

Indeed !

[@ehanneken]

It’s funny how opposite Garbo was from Joan Crawford. Crawford made herself very available to interviewers and photographers, and answered fan mail personally. Garbo grudgingly showed up for photographs to publicize her films, did a handful of interviews, and that’s about it. You’d think only Crawford would have been a star because she worked harder at it, but no.

Fortunately for Garbo, the studio used that about her to their advantage.

@@RobertBellissimoAtTheMovies Yes, but it wouldn’t have worked for just any actress. It’s difficult to imagine, say, Marie Prevost becoming a mega star from inaccessibility.

[@RobertBellissimoAtTheMovies]

True.
