Greta Garbo

Camille (George Cukor, 1936).

Greta Garbo by Louise Ruth Harriet, june 1929

‘One day Mrs. Lubitsch called me to say she was giving a “black-tie party” in honor of a visiting German film star. Forty “prominent” people were invited. The film star’s husband was a German producer Berthold had known in Berlin, and out of nostalgia he said we should accept. As was common in Hollywood, beautiful women were clustered in one corner of the room, while the men talked shop in the other. Jacques Feyder remained of course with the ladies; Françoise was not there as she had gone to Paris for a few weeks. He greeted me and led me to a couch, on which, next to the German star, whose billowing skirt was taking practically all the space, sat Greta Garbo. She was the only woman who wore an austere black suit and not evening dress. As the German star refused to subdue her flounces, there was no room for me on the couch, and we went out to the veranda, leaving her enthroned in her splendor. The night was chilly. Only a few hardy characters were sitting outside. Feyder secured a bottle of champagne and the three of us spent the rest of the evening in a highly animated mood.’ (Salka Viertel in her autobiography “The Kindness of Strangers”)  Garbo & Dietrich in The Meeting of Two Queens (1991) directed by Cecilia Barriga
