Interesting Fact: She was once voted as the most beautiful woman who ever lived by the The Guinness Book of World Records.

My Mother's Favorite Movie: Ninotchka (1939). This film presents a funny side to Greta Garbo that you don't see in her other films.



The details on her life were kept secluded. She was a mystery to all who worked with her and saw her on the screen. This is my mother's favorite actress for the fact that they share the same ancestry of Sweden. She was beautiful on the screen and like a few other women of Hollywood she quite early to spend the majority of her life in retirement.
