Here's my favorite outfit from Wild Orchids...it's supposed to be a "Javanese" gown. She tries it on, then goes to show her old-fogey husband, who then turns the light out on her.....

That rejection ultimately leads her into the arms of Nils Asther and his stupid little mustache...she's cautious at first, then tries to fight off his advances, then eventually gives in.

From Garbo's "lost" film, her 1928 silent The Divine Woman....(one of the floral dress shots is just a close-up of one of the photos; the one where she's wearing a black hat, and the one where she's wearing a white bonnet were both taken by Ruth Harriet Louise in 1927, as promotonal portraits for this movie).

Wonderful pics everyone, love her look. I think she looked her best when her eyebrows were black pencil thin. Makes her so glam.

Hi emily marie - I don't believe so. I was looking at the HQs over at doctormacro.com and it just looks like she plucked her eyebrows that thin and maybe filled them in a bit with pencil.

I thought it would be fitting that my first Garbo attachment after a rather long absence would be a photo from Garbo's arrival in America in 1925!
