By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Garbo (Hardcover)
Researched and written by historian and biographer Robert Payne, The Great Garbo is a thoughtfully presented and informative biography of the great film actress Greta Garbo (1905-1990), a woman who mesmerized the movie-goers of the 1920's and 1930's. It was Garbo's silver screen stories helped America cope during the depths of the Great Depression and left a lasting impression on American popular culture that continues to this very day. The 120 black-and-white photographs add a superb visual touch to this very highly recommended tribute to the life, work and legacy of a truly glamorous woman.
