Portrait of Greta Garbo (1905 -1990) with serious attention to what made her an icon – her twenty-four Hollywood films. Vieira draws on interviews, letters, and MGM-production files to trace each film from story conference to premiere, providing new insights into Garbo’s surprising career moves, unconventional working methods, and stormy relationships. Lavishly illustrated with luminous film stills, portraits and behind-the-scenes photographs - many previously unpublished.
