# Greta Garbo

> She walked off the screen in 1941 and never came back. For fifty years after, Garbo refused every offer, every interview, every chance to explain why Hollywood's most magnetic face had simply chosen silence.

## Bio

Born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson in Sweden, she broke through in the 1924 film The Saga of Gösta Berling, catching the eye of MGM's Louis B. Mayer, who brought her to Hollywood in 1925. Her third American film, Flesh and the Devil (1926), made her an international star, and by 1928's A Woman of Affairs she was MGM's top draw, eclipsing Lillian Gish. The 1930 transition to sound—marketed with "Garbo talks!"—brought an Oscar nomination for Anna Christie, and her reign continued through Grand Hotel, Queen Christina, and what many consider her finest work, Camille (1936). Labeled box office poison in 1938, she rebounded with the comedy Ninotchka (1939), but Two-Faced Woman flopped in 1941 and she walked away for good at thirty-six. Four years before her death in 1990, she finally said it plain: "I was tired of Hollywood. I did not like my work."
