About This Item
Various cities: Various studios, 1950. Collection of 25 vintage photographs of Swedish-American actress Greta Garbo, including seven double-weight and 19 single-weight. Collection includes 13 reference photographs dating between 1926 and 1939, eleven portrait photographs dating between the 1920s and the 1950s, and one wardrobe test photograph from "Anna Christie" (1950).
Represented are reference and portrait photographs from the following films: "Torrent" (1926), "The Mysterious Lady" (1928), "The Kiss" (1929), "Anna Christie" (1930), "Romance" (1930), "Susan Lenox: Her Fall and Rise" (1931), "Mata Hari" (1931), "Queen Christina" (1933), "The Painted Veil" (1934), "Anna Karenina" (1935), and "Ninotchka" (1939).
Garbo was likely MGM's most prestigious star through the end of the 1920s into the 1930s, one of the most successful examples of an actress who transitioned effortlessly from silent film to talkies. The success of "Anna Christie" in 1930 led to Garbo being booked into a number of back-to-back films, including "Grand Hotel" (1932), which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
An unusually in-depth collection of images documenting Garbo's career in Hollywood.
Photographs range from 9.5 x 8 inches to 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine to Very Good plus, some with light edgewear and age toning.
