2)$ THE PRIVATE LIFE OF GRETA GARBO pneumonia. When an operation to drain his lungs was found necessary, the doctors knew he had small chance for recovery. His old friend Victor Seastrom was in Stockholm on a visit. Stiller would see only a few people, and Seastrom was one of them. Mr. Seastrom was asked to suggest to Stiller that he make out a will. It was a difficult thing to do. One day Seastrom had a chance to suggest it. But Stiller only laughed. “You think I am going to die. Well, I am not. I don’t need to make my will yet.” But he did die, in a few days. As there was no will, the property was divided between his three surviving brothers, one living in Los Angeles, one in San Francisco, and another in Europe. After the estate was settled, Garbo received a letter stating that she might choose something of Mr. Stiller’s to remember him by. She asked for a piece of furniture in his apartment in Stockholm. Perhaps it was the little chair she sat on that day when, shaking with fright, she waited in the office in his home to ask him for a part in Gosta Berling’s Saga.
