Marlene Dietrich, much as I admire her, was a rabid fan of Garbo's for years and did everything she could to meet her, and, far as I know, never succeeded. Joan Crawford had pictures of Garbo all over her M-G-M dressing room and almost fell on her face trying to get chummy with Greta. But though her dressing room was right next door, she never made it. Garb o-Mamoulian, and the chases through the desert. Garbo-George Brent, and more hide-and-seek. Garbo-Stokowski on the isle of Capri. Garbo-Dr. Gaylord Hauser and raw carrots. Garboseveral other people. She's had her share of romances. But in that department Garbo always brings to my mind high strung, wild, neurotic, too good-looking John Gilbert, who busted his heart over Greta and died of the strain, I firmly believe. Jack Gilbert installed a suite of rooms for Garbo up in his Tower Road mansion. It had shiny black marble walls, but when Greta took one look, she said, "Ay don' like." She said they were too smooth and shiny, so Jack spent Lord knows how much money having them all fluted. He was that mad about her, and he came as near as any man to marrying her. They even went down to the marriage bureau to get a license— but at the last minute Garbo got panicky and ran out of the hall like an awkward, frightened kid. Jack was so shocked that he almost came to his senses. In fact, he" did, just long enough to marry lovely Ina Claire on the rebound. Garbo was making a picture on location at Catalina Island when they brought her the news of John Gilbert's marriage. You know what she did? She laughed — the loudest anyone ever heard her laugh until she made "Ninotchka." I will say that for once Garbo acted like a lady. That was her pay-off to poor, beatendown John Gilbert when she chose him for "Queen Christina." Maybe her conscience caught up with her and maybe it was just a case of thinking the old GilbertGarbo team would revive again and lay 'em in the aisles. Anyway, it was Garbo, against M-G-M's better judgment, who insisted that Jack get that part. He was in such a nervous state making it that he couldn't say the simplest lines for days and lost his lunch time and again on the set. Pure nerves. In fact, the greatest good that came out of "Queen Christina" was another lucky case of a free pass to Hollywood for a great star. Miss Vivien Leigh. Yep, "Scarlett" of "Gone With the Wind." They'd have you know, of course,, that Vivien was the pearl unearthed after worldwide searches for the one, the only the perfect "Scarlett." Well, Dave Selznick' did do a lot of lookin', all right, but why should he look for a Southern Belle in England— ever think of that? Vivien Leigh came to Hollywood as a bonus to lure Laurence Olivier. You see, M-G-M wanted Olivier to team with the throaty Swede in "Queen Christina." They even had his clothes all made, and Larry had his lines all learned, his make-up tests— every thing. Then, in stepped our stubborn friend and said, "No— I want John Gilbert." So they signed John and next time when Hollywood sounded its siren call Olivier yawned, "I say, old boy, have you heard any more funny stories?" He was in love with lovely Leigh and he liked England just fine. To get him across for Heathcliffe or something, I've forgotten which, they had to invite unknown Vivien, too. And what should she run right into but the mammoth, colossal, jumbo Scarlett O'Hara treasure hunt! The slipper fit right away —only it wasn't David Selznick who found
