“I am forever running away from something or somebody,” Garbo told me in the summer of 1977. “Subconsciously I have always known that I was not destined for real and lasting happiness.” From her recurring remarks in our time together, the pattern of Garbo’s concept of a “happy life” emerged: a little house somewhere in the country with a fireplace “for sitting around and dreaming,” simple food, and a good friend by her side who wouldn’t talk too much or question her thoughts. She longs to be understood without words and free to do as she pleases without the need for excuses or explanations.“ (Greta Garbo in Sweden, c. 1946)
