GARBO ON GARBO,

Bloomsbury Publishing, Soho Square, London - first UK edition 1991 hardcover, 7¾" x 10", with dust jacket Approximately 150 b&w photographs. Inscription to previous owner on half-title page. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Distinguished Swedish journalist Sven Broman gained Greta Garbo's confidence and penetrated her legendary silence like no one else. Garbo was aware Broman made extensive notes after every conversation, and she told him that after her death he could publish as much as he liked. She revealed intimate details about her Swedish childhood, her early movies, her rise to stardom and her loathing of Hollywood. Garbo's friends provided many previously unpublished photographs (and a few letters) - resulting in this, the closest thing to an autobiography of Greta Garbo. Includes complete filmography (silent & sound). As packed books weighs 1¼kgs (3lbs), slightly-higher-than-usual shipping costs may apply (email us your location, we'll quote first).
