Maximum cards/ cartes maximum/ maximumkarten: actress Greta Garbo



Greta Garbo...she fascinated a lot of people.

"Greta Garbo (18 September 1905 – 15 April 1990) was a Swedish actress during Hollywood's silent film period and part of its Golden Age.

Regarded as one of the greatest and most inscrutable movie stars ever produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and the Hollywood studio system, Garbo received a 1954 Honorary Academy Award "for her unforgettable screen performances"[1] and in 1999 was ranked as the fifth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.[2]"


One of the people for which she was unscrutable was Bette Davis.

This is Greta, seen thru "Bette Davis' eyes":

"Her instinct, her mastery over the machine, was pure witchcraft. I cannot analyse this woman's acting. I only know that no one else so effectively worked in front of a camera."
