21+5 THE PRIVATE LIFE OF GRETA GARBO had his dream of going into pictures, but he knew that it would be useless to ask Garbo’s help. He made up his mind never to let her know that he had hoped that she might help him. His father and mother had moved to Los Angeles. They had built a lovely home near the Los Angeles Country Club. In their walled-in garden was a swimming pool, deep enough for his mother to take her high dives. The long hours at Garbo’s gave him no time to spend with his family. They did not like the idea of their son working as a servant. They advised him to find something else to do. Garbo was having one of her colds. She decided to go to Swoboda Hot Springs to take a treatment of the hot mineral baths. Nils Asther, who came to call so often, had told her about this resort, located about a hundred miles from Hollywood. The fact that the hotel had small bungalows connected with it, where she could live away from the crowds, appealed to her. She knew she could get a much needed rest down there. When Mr. Asther offered to drive her and Sorensen down she decided to go.
