Greta Garbo Trivia
|
- Never married, she invested wisely and was known for her extreme frugality.
- Garbo actually hoped to return to films after the war but, for whatever reason, no projects ever materialized.
- Became a US citizen. [1951]
- Although it was believed that Garbo lived as an invalid in her post- Hollywood career, this is incorrect. Garbo was a real jet setter, traveling with international tycoons and socialites. In the seventies, she traveled less, and grew more and more eccentric, although she still took daily walks through Central Park with close friends and walkers. Due to failing health in the late eighties, her mobility was challenged. In her final year, it was her family that cared for her, including taking her to dialysis treatments. She died with them by her side.
- Left John Gilbert standing at the altar in 1927 when she got cold feet about marrying him.
