THE PRIVATE LIFE OF GRETA GARBO J/,0 living at Santa Monica. He thought that Stiller and Miss Garbo would like to make their home there. He knew that most Swedes loved the sea and the surf. He knew that they would enjoy the salt fresh air as it came from the ocean. After driving through Hollywood and Beverly Hills and the beach towns, both Greta and Mr. Stiller decided that Santa Monica was where they wanted to establish themselves. Mr. Stiller rented a house near the beach and engaged a Swedish woman to keep house for him. Greta took a small apartment in the Miramar, a big brick apartment house, a block from the ocean. She was happy to find the weather in California cool and comfortable, even though the sun shone brightly. She liked living near the ocean, where she could walk miles up the sand, close to the water’s edge. She was glad that she did not have to start immediately on a picture. She had time to learn the ways of this new country and study the language. It was three months before Greta Garbo started work on her first picture in Hollywood.
