Greta Garbo, The Kiss, 1929

‘To know Greta - one must know the North. She may live the rest of her life in a Southern climate, but she will always be Nordic with all its sober and introvert characteristics. To know her one must know - really know - wind, rain, and dark brooding skies. She is of the elements - actually and symbolically. Forever, in this present incarnation, she will be a Viking’s child - troubled by a dream of snow.’ - Mercedes de Acosta

“It was because of Garbo that I left MGM. In her last picture they wanted to make her a sweater girl, a real American type. I said, ‘When the glamour ends for Garbo, it also ends for me. She has created a type. If you destroy that illusion, you destroy her.’ When Garbo walked out of the studio, glamour went with her, and so did I.” –Gilbert Adrian
