However, she had dignity and class. She was independent and had the financial independence to do exactly as she wanted.

I agree with you. Besides, this seems to me the only plausible reason for the Swedish goddess of cinema to leave her wonderful, native Stockholm for New York.
@@alecvillavilla9978 Stockholm also has a magnificent Grand hotel. And since Stockholm is where Garbo is originally from, wasn't the Grand hotel in her film of the same name supposed to be at the Grand hotel in Stockholm?
@@alvexok5523 As a tourist in Europe, just wanted to say that there are, or were, many Grand Hotels all across Europe. I saw one in Switzerland, another in Germany, and one in France....
Yes, Garbo's "pad" as the idiotic title describes her home, was bustling with activity. Okay, but seriously... you're making things up. Unless a lot of people are lying, and her own letters that were auctioned are lying, Garbo preferred being alone and, except for the occasional visitor and vacation trip, spent her life alone.
I don't understand why the price on that apartment is so low compared to other comprable apartments in Manhattan , and add to that - THERE WAS ONLY ONE GARBO , and the apartment is also perfect ?
Oh how beautiful...I've always adored Ms.Garbo...such a beautiful lady and actress. If I had the money I'd buy this place and cherish it. It would remain exactly what its suppose too. Greta Garbo's home... I've seen all her movies, and only dreamed to be like her. She is missed dearly....and I personally what to thank her niece for keeping it...so all of us fan know in our hearts that there is a piece of her still living.
This apartment is very classy unlike many of the Hollywood set who adore it with too much glitzy. Clearly her Swedish sensibility and personal style makes this so wonderful.
I barely recognize the place, actually. The furniture is COMPLETELY different....all the French antiques she loved are gone. The bar was not there, was added after her death. I realize that living there since the 50s, much had to be updated to sell the apartment, venetian old-style blinds, etc., but I actually liked it better the way Garbo had it all assembled. She bought what she liked and she had A LOT of it crammed in there....all beautiful, of course. Garbo would barely recognize this modernization of her place, that's for sure.
Agreed, this is a bit misleading. That spare room with twin beds looks like a tacky motel room. I know a huge Garbo estate auction was held a few years back. I doubt Garbo would collect dozens of different biographies about herself and display them in the living room.
This apartment is so well decorated and furnished and has such a great view that I could happily stay indoors there for days and not feel cramped or confined. Even when the apartment was originally half its present size I would think it would be easy to stay there for long periods of time.
No words can describe the sweet sensation that looking at this apartment can evoke. It feels "the Angel" is still with us, living in this dimension. By now, the home has another owner, but it is an important document for it is the only tangible thing we have of GG, besides her movies. You won't be forgotten, Greta Lovisa. ❤️
Greta Garbo took Sir Anthony Quinn with her to buy some Picasso's. She bought all of them! Then she turned to Sir Anthony Quinn and said something, "Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted to buy one too." And he said, "No, I don't want to be Pope, I .. I." Then he realized that it had nothing to do with his movie SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN. And Greta said to Sir Anthony Qulinn, "Tony, how selfish of me, you can buy the pink one." And he said, "No, no, I can't buy the Pink One." And in her inimitable way said, "I know you're not a fairy, you must buy it, Tony." And he said, "Okay, I'll buy it." He wrote the auctioneer a post-dated check. He went to his house and sold it for $50,000 just to buy the painting not to break Greta Garbo's heart. Sir Anthony Quinn then had to go back and take whichever part Hollywood producers offered him. Today, Sir Anthony Quinn's most valuable possession is the 'Pink' Pablo Picasso painting which Greta Garbo insisted he buy it. He has donated it so it hangs in one of Mexico's national museums for all Mexican museum visitors would remember the greatest Spanish painter in history -- Vic Alexander, Son of Nimrod the Jewish Producer of great movies.
MaGarbo is a Filipino word rooted from and coined after the great, iconic actress, it means lavish and or luxurious..just like the way the Hollywood legend lived her life..
@@JSB1882 Dave La Violette Yes, very true! From what I have read, she travelled every year, had VIP close friends the world over for decades. Had to be very respectful of her privacy....and often pay for everything!
[on her famous Grand Hotel (1932) quote] I never said, "I want to be alone". I only said, "I want to be left alone". There is a whole world of difference.
2:12 Amedeo Modigliani, an Italian Jew, a true original which depicts the elongated neck which he was famous for in (all) his paintings. This was a painting of his wife as she posed for many of his paintings. Amedeo Modigliani lived in the time of Picasso and died before he realized he was famous. Many artists are famous in death and worth little in life. His life was a personal struggle, but he lives in the minds of those who adore him for his raw energy and unique interpretation of the human form.
I named my dog Garbo because she is the most beautiful dog I've ever seen. So naturally I named her after the original queen of the screen. Greta Garbo
In this instance it's completely reasonable that the video about Garbo's apartment has an emphasis on "...value and money": the apartment and its contents were for sale and were being shown not by an art critic or teacher but by a real estate agent whose job it is to find a buyer.
I was thinking 6mill isn't all that much these days but 8mill really isn't either. Do you know what the new owner is planning? (As in keep as is or redecorate?)
Sapphire 74 it's not Park Ave. its a smaller building close to Sutton Place on 52nd. Garbo lived frugally all her life. She was worth 20 mil when she died. not bad for someone who hadn't worked in 50 years.
Nine million to live there??? What decade was that? LOL That's probably what a down payment would be today, not that anyone who could afford this would make payments.
Sapphire 74 she had the whole floor but it was a rather smaller building for NYC. she did a lot of renovating and I'm sure she valued the complete privacy she had by doing it this way. the way the public hounded her all her life this was an ideal situation for her.
It's a common practice in New York to purchase neighboring apartments to create one large apartment; sometimes several floors are combined to create a duplex or triplex.
@@songbirdy true, but more likely that her “friends” George Schlee and Valentina lived a few floors above and vouched for her residency. She depended on them in making her move to NYC at the beginning. George was a close companion until he died.
She did! From what I've read about Greta Garbo she was known for being very well paid. Maybe someone reading the comments has a better recollection than I do of Garbo/Mayer encounter and can confirm or deny this but here goes: I read that Greta Garbo met with Louis B. Mayer about wanting more money. He refused. Garbo said, "I think I go home now", meaning her home in Hollywood. Mayer thought Garbo meant she was going back to Sweden and gave her more money!
What a beautiful home. These two were tacky and it felt invasive. Would have been better without trying to imitate her ordering a drink, not sounding like her at all.
I love these movie stars of the golden age of Hollywood. They had style... And I always have a bit of a problem with these private video's. This was her home. This was her bedroom. Is it oppropriate for us to look at that? Aiiii... But bless her. She was truly one of the greatest of all time
If you see the books on that shelf on a photo online and this shelf now you see a difference. I think some of the book i that shelf are publish after her death and just bought by the family to keep her memory alive.

@Pat Kat Exquisite. Inflate that to today, and imagine buying an apartment like this for that price. The reality is people had far more opportunity back then, when the population was much less and possibility for each person was much more. Those days of opportunity are long gone. The only reason her estate was valued so high was because of all the inflation that occurred by the time she died. I wonder what kind of property tax or maintenance she even paid, if the costs stayed assessed on that low purchase price- probably very little.
