Walking With Garbo: Conversations and Recollections - Exclusive Greta Garbo Biography & Hollywood Memoir - Perfect for Film Historians, Classic Cinema Lovers, and Biography Collectors

Before I read this book, I really didn't know much about the personality of Greta Garbo, but through her words and the description of her by the author, she comes alive as a very warm and honest person. To her it would seem, her career as a film star was just a job. One that brought her fame that would follow her until the last days of her life when even as she was helped into her car to go to the hospital, she was hounded by photographers. And when her time on the screen was over, she would have liked to just travel and enjoy her life. She never said, "I want to be alone." What she said was, "I want to be let alone." This is a great read about one of this centuries great personalities. She was a collector and even designed her own rugs for her appartment. And if you had been lucky enough she might even have made sphegetti.
