I have fallen in love with her work and she has become the greatest actress of all time in my heart. I will continue to watch her films until the day that I die. Greta is a true star in all form's in my mind.
I saw Miss Garbo in New York, during one of her walks many years ago. I didn't know it was her until someone sitting next to me in the park mentioned it saying there goes Ms Garbo again. We could not see her face completely as it was covered by a hat. She really walked really fast. At least I can say saw a celebrity in NY. 😁
GARBO WAS THE BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS WHO EVER LIVED.
I could not agree more 😅
I absolutely agree!
I DO AGREE
@@alecvillavilla9978I adore Garbo but I’m not sure she was “the most beautiful woman”. She was actually quite androgynous looking, almost masculine. Very chiselled jawline and cheekbones like a beautiful boy. Her mouth was very wide and big and her teeth had to be fixed, and so on…. I feel that it’s more that she had very large saucer like expressive eyes, amazing charisma and screen presence. Her face was wide and open which helped for acting on screen in close ups. She was transcendent not so much in terms of her looks, but in terms of a kind of soul expression. People think because someone is a big star it means they’re naturally beautiful. That’s not the case. There were many more stars who I think who were more physically beautiful - like Liz Taylor, or Grace Kelly. But Garbo just had more presence and persona than the rest.
They don't make legends like Garbo anymore. Thank you Robert. Watching from sunny Scotland 😁
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve heard Scotland is a beautiful place to visit
I relate to her line: I want to be alone-PRICELESS ❤
When her films came out on video in the 1980's Blockbuster used the promo line 'I want to be on loan'.
She stayed mysterious until the very end. My Brother lived on Lexington avenue and East 53nd street. she lived close to there at 450 East 52nd street. When he would open up the pizza shop which is no longer, that he lived over early in the morning about 6:00 AM she would come in quietly sit and have a glass of orange juice. He wouldn't even speak outside of saying good morning and smile at her. He knew how she wanted it and she would always go there in the morning. It was just her and my Brother Stephen while he prepared for the day💜
Shades of Dante and Beatrice...an unspoken accord.
wow great story, what i would give to have spent time with her like that.
@@johnobrien5618 it was her regular start to her day. I wish I had met her.
Thanks for sharing. This is the kind of records that future biographers are desperate to find.
@@Jacks_here I wish my brother was still alive to share more with you guys. Sadly he passed away a few years ago due to diabetes. He was my favorite brother of six! He had a wonderful vibe about him and she must have felt that upon meeting.
I personally think CAMILLE was her crowning glory.
Other movies of Garbo's I enjoyed: QUEEN CHRISTINA, THE PAINTED VEIL, MATA HARI & NINOTCHKA
I agree about Camille. It was my favourite.
@@lapislazuli7876I still can remember my grandmother telling me about how mesmerizing Garbo was when she would go to the movies and watch her. My grandmother's favorite film of Garbo's was Camille. She told me when I was 12 that I should watch for it and I did. I saw it on late night tv back in the 1980s. I used to love talking to my grandmother about the 'good old days.' I often wish I would have lived back then.
La Davina...the divine one. " What men see in woman drunk, they see in Garbo sober".
Yeah but still want to prove there ego
Very well done. Garbo will forever be the greatest. I would love to see a similar presentation on Clara Bow and Louise Brooks. Take care until next time.
Thank you so much. I will definitely cover Clara Bow and Louise Brooks. Thanks for the suggestions.
Greta Garbo's beauty was as Luise Rainer stated, "like that of Nefertiti". Every major Actress at the time, greatly admired Greta Garbo. Even Orson Welles felt Garbo was unique.
What else can one say as everything possible to say about Greta Garbo has already been said?
17:40 One of my favorite film scenes! And Garbo's face was truly flawless -
Very well done! Concise and including Garbo's greatest scenes. She seems to glow out of the screen, and no one has used stillness to greater effect.
I'm a huge fan of Greta Garbo! Greetings from Brasil!
Excellent narration, with a fine, handsome voice. This piece on Garbo was an absolute pleasure to see, and hear. "Thanks" to you, Robert!
Hi
Her best film was ‘ Anna Karerina’ which remains the benchmark inspite of several remakes over the years! She even did a silent movie version originally which was equally as riveting with her never to be surpassed screen presence!
Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over His creation from Jerusalem forever.
The most beautiful and énigmatic actress.
An unfathomable charismatic beauty.
She was so beautiful and her expressiveness!! She was the greatest screen actress, beauty and personality of all time. What an extraordinarily gorgeous woman she was.
Greta Garbo, GARBO for ever. L'unica, irraggiungibile...
You mean "he", Garbo was a male.
@@MiamiVisor Duh - idiot! 🙄🤨
@@7DearOhDear7 Like most people, you're under a spell with your eyes wide shut.
@@MiamiVisor You're talking to yourself I see.
what a face ! Loved Greta Garbo. Wonder in what spirit she left this world. Hope to see her again
She has always intrigued me. I gave had a few paintings done of her because she's so beautiful. Her face is one if the most beautiful I've ever seen.
Her face was white masculine though. I think these days there are many more beautiful people around but the problem is they lack presence or they don’t radiate inner beauty. Garbo had an inner expressiveness that came through.
She looked like her father I think. I don't think she got the looks from Mom. Either way, she was just so intriguing. I have a custom oil done of her in my living room. There's a video on where she's buried on you tube. It's totally silent, but takes you to her grave, it's a calming beautiful video. She was cremated but
the stone is lovely, just says GARBO in her handwriting.@@lapislazuli7876
Good stuff. I didn't realize she started out in the silent era. You did a great job. Very interesting.
This is one of the best Garbo doc. 😊😀
That face - perfection!
Informative and avoids any slickness which would be fatal for a Garbo doco. Initially a mesmerizing vamp to John Gilbert in the stunning silent Flesh and the Devil, his career derailed when he reacted violently to L.B.Mayer's advice that Garbo was a woman to sleep with, not marry. Gilbert died of a heart attack aged 36.
I am a big fan! Her talent and aura inspired me to have the short film "Garbo Fans" produced based upon my script.
That's really cool. Her mystique has never gone away. If anything, it's gotten stronger.
Very well done!
Thank you 😊❤️
Mauritz Stiller was born in Helsinki, Finland in 1883 but moved to Stockholm in 1909. He still has relatives in Helsinki.
What a very unique and truly talented lady she was.
UNIQUE is the right word: she was fascinating and had the looks of a Swedish Goddess
The difference between Greta Grabo and other actresses is not related to talent or other 'visible' aspects ... It was more an innate magnetism, you can not easily describe. You feel it when you watch one of her movies and when you look at pictures of her. One of her friends, Françoise Rosay, once said : 'of course, she was very beautiful, but she had 'something more' that I couldn't explain to you'.
Yes. Charismatic presence.
It’s called charisma. It’s quite simple. Many people have it. But she was the first I think of the modern age. Nowadays they’ve learned how to bottle charisma and every a*****e has it. Everything has been commodified.
17:26
I don't know if I could even begin to define it. Garbo laughing is like Claudette Colbert's sultry stare. Or Marilyn Monroe's breathy singing Happy Birthday. Pure magnetism.
I love Greta
So mysteriously beautiful.
Chuck Heston once said Garbo was his first love and he would always miss her.
"Ain't they fussy in these dumps" 😂
Wonderful ❤️
EXCELLENT and classy presentation with intelligence and heart. Garbo's face was incredible. I absolutely love her talent. May I recommend making a presentation on Stewart Granger? I absolutely adore that man. Best wishes to you from Northern California! I subscribed today after seeing this gorgeous, well-thought presentation and a fantastic narration. :)
I’ll definitely look into Stewart Granger. Thank you so much for subscribing.
@@RobertMcIntosh SUPER!!! He has an autobiography called "Sparks
Fly Upwards." Again I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation on Greta Garbo. It was lovely! Warmest wishes from Northern California! :)
@@blackbeardsdaughter2613 Thank you again. I’ll be sure to get that book as soon as I can. Warm wishes from the East Coast
@@RobertMcIntosh Great! "Sparks Fly Upward" is a fantastic book in my estimation. As I read it, I could actually hear Stewart's voice. It was not like a "ghost-written" book. I watched the Garbo video again. You did a fabulous job with this!!! Best wishes again to you!! :) PS: I first saw Stewart Granger in "The Prisoner of Zenda" and instantly fell in love with him. Evidently he and his co-star James Mason were friends in real life. "Scaramouche" is fabulous as well with Eleanor Parker. Warmest wishes!!
Спасибо! Так же спасибо за титры на разных языках.
Interesting
Are you sure Garbo allowed all those telephone conversations with Sam Greene were approved by Garbo? I doubt it.
Anna Lovisa Gustafson is my fifth cousin.
She was not called "The Divine" for nothing.
Can you do Theda Bara next?!!!!
Maybe do show on Gloria Swanson??
Very fine Aloha from Hawaii
Грета Гарбо ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
😘😘😘😘😘😘
Very Swedish to be reserved and keep private life private. E.g. '70s superstar group ABBA didn't flash wealth around, especially in Sweden itself. Such ostentation would be frowned on severely.
Very good job sir, yet 4:04 - 4:31 and 21.11 is not Garbo. Also interesting to remark, at 7:11 the man with extremely handsome face is another Swede, Nils Ashter. He was so good-looking that some referred to him as the male Garbo. Re-watching this part of your documentary, I reckon you've associated this scene to the very fact in Garbo's life you're narrating (Garbo receiving the news of Stiller's death), as you do also in the end, when you mention her death and show the final moments of Anna K, is that correct?
Yes. 4:04 -31 were women in a Garbo look a like contest I think. But definitely not Garbo.
Yes the greatest
Vorrei vedere filmati di Greta Gsrbo con voce italiana
I don't think the screen tests at the 4 minute marker is Garbo
Jean Harlow
😷😊👏👏👍🌹

She looks like her father i think. I don't see her mother in her face at all.
I think Greta garble knew went to quit she knew as she was getting older her appearance was not quite as beautiful as other actresses of her day and her accent wasn't a accent with any sexual attraction it was just stiff she did the right thing
I think Greta
La Garbo bucava lo schermo. Era lei l'unica protahonista
I'd love to see a show on Barbra Streisand in this format.
She's very looks like Gwen Stéphani in No doubt périod
Maybe GS - whoever she is - took inspiration from Garbo, or she did?
She had an affair with woman
