"Give me a whisky, ginger ale on the side. And don't be stingy, baby."

From Garbo's first "talkie", Anna Christie (1931)....(the above was the first line Garbo says in the movie)

I (finally) decided to make some Garbo avatars (and actually share them ). Feel free to use!

 

[Luxury's Lap]

A few more new ones.....(again, feel free to use!)

And then here's a bunch of older avatars I made (and used at some point...think of them as "vintage" )

I sound like a broken record, but, feel free to use!

This sounds like the "Garbo" documentary released by TCM (Turner Classic Movies) in 2005. They also released a copy with the Garbo boxset. I checked TCM's website but they aren't playing it anytime soon. You might be able to rent it, or borrow it from someone that has the Garbo boxset. Or you could buy a copy on eBay if you really wanted to.

Of all the Garbo movies TCM is playing in the upcoming few months, only one isn't included in the Garbo boxset ("Conquest"). I requested them to play "As You Desire Me"; she looks so gorgeous in the photos I've seen from the movie that I now just have to see that movie. I suppose I could always just buy it....

Here's a very young photo of Garbo. I believe she's in the middle. The site is in Swedish, and it said Garbo is in the "mitten".

Grand Hotel was my first Garbo film ever. Personally, I loved her in it. Her scene at the end of the film just breaks my heart. Camille and Mata Hari were both very good. I must say I haven't seen a bad Garbo film yet. Picking a favorite would be very difficult...but if I must, I'd have to go with one of her silents...possibly The Flesh & the Devil or The Temptress. She just seemed so other-worldly in her silents.

Speaking of The Flesh & The Devil....
