BIOGRAPHIES OF 200 LEADING SCREEN PERSONALITIES GRETA GARBO (real name Gustafson), was born at Stockholm, Sept. 18, 1906. Her first film was an advertising film about hats for which she was a sales girl in a Stockholm store. Swedish director put her into a comedy called “Erik the Tramp,” in which she was seen by Mauritz Stiller, who changed her name to Garbo and, after some stage experience, starred her in “Atonement of Gosta Berling.” This brought Garbo and Stiller Hollywood contracts. Had an immediate success in her first American film, "The Torrent,” and went straight to the forefront of popularity with “The Temptress,” then two with John Gilbert — “Flesh and the Devil” and “Love.” Coming of talkies did not worry her and she made such notable early ones as “Anna Christie,” “Romance,” “The Rise of Helga.” "Grand Hotel,” “Queen Christina,” and “ Anna Karenina,” are more recent successes. Returned from a long holiday in Sweden last year to make “Camille,” and her next is “Madame Waleska,” with Charles Boyer. Is 5 ft. 6 ins. tall, with fair hair and green eyes. Loves old clothes, old friends, and is terrified of strangers and crowds. Unmarried. 191 A
