That is a very good movie. It's even said to be Garbo's favorite! My only complaint is that it is a period movie, so she's wearing big swishy dresses.

Oh but I love period pieces! And in Camille, they're divine I can't believe how many times I've watched the movie since I got it, and I was blown away by Garbo's performance!

Anyway, I found a Garbo caricature from Mickey Mouse and I remember seeing it on TV when I was younger, and I was then totally freaked out by this cartoon-woman! I had no idea that it was Garbo, of course, since I was like 5 at that time.

I had earlier found (and posted) this photo of Garbo on imdb.com, but imagine my suprise when I found this photo of Marlene Dietrich (also on imdb.com)....They had to have had the same photographer!
And in case you're wondering, I believe Garbo's photo was first, since it was (I believe) for her silent movie "Torrent" (1926), and imdb said Dietrich's photo was from 1931 (but they can be unreliable sometimes).

Found a fantastic new site! This photo is (from left to right actress Karin Molander, actor Lars Hansson, Garbo, and director Mauritz Stiller. Garbo co-starred with Molander and Hansson in Gosta Berling's Saga, and Stiller was the director.

On the left is another photo of the same four.

The photo on the right is a private photo. It said on the back: "This is a rather unusual portrait of Garbo who imagines she has become strong by paddling about in my canoe for a couple of hours. But she has got a sun tan."
