(This is a computer translation of the original article in Spanish. It should not be regarded as complete or accurate.)
Actress Greta Garbo (nicknamed "The
divine"), the most famous of her epoch, was born in Stockholm (Sweden) in 1905.
Actually her name was Greta Lovisa Gustaffson. She grew up in a family of low
class. Her father, Karl Alfred Gustaffson, was a worker of cleanliness who
previously had been a farmer; her mother, Anna Lovisa Karlson, was a seamstress
newly gone over to Stockholm. Garbo was employed like cleaner at a barber's shop
and as saleswoman at a feminine hat shop, before initiating her studies in the
Dramatic Swedish Academy. She harvested a big success in several mute movies as
"The stream", "Bell Monta", "Ground of all" and "The demon and the meat". From
1930 she took part in sonorous movies as "Ann Christie", "Susan Lenox", "Big
Hotel", "The queen Christina of Sweden", " Anna Karenina ", " Marguerite
Gautier", " Ninotchka " and " The woman of two faces". On having finished the
contract with the American producer MGM, she moved back, in the top of her
career, because she was terrified to age before her public. From this moment she
called herself "The mysterious" for the mystery that was making a detour to her
private life. It is known that she liked to smoke in long and typical pips of
man. There was chosen the best actress of the first half of the century
twenty in 1950. In 1951 she was naturalized American. She was nominated three
times to the Oscar but she did not obtain it, although finally the Academy
decided to grant her a special Oscar in 1954. She died in 1990. Greta Garbo was
making a show of a big safety and had a deep and virile voice. In 1925, during
the shooting of a movie, she knew to also well-known actress Marlene Dietrich,
with whom she probably began a lesbian relation. While some of them were
saying that Garbo was the devouring of men others were making sure that actually
she belonged to a lesbian circle where the bisexuality and the lesbianism
were accepted by entire normality.
