With her astounding beauty and enigmatic persona, Greta Garbo is the ultimate Hollywood icon. Though many books have tried to unlock the mystique of the "Swedish Sphinx" by focusing primarily on her personal life, Greta Garbo: A Cinematic Legacy is the first to pay serious attention to what made her an icon—her 24 Hollywood films. Celebrating the centenary of her birth, the book draws extensively on interviews, letters, and newly accessible M-G-M production files to chronicle Garbo's career from her American debut in 1926 to her self-imposed retirement in 1941 at the height of her popularity. A wealth of film stills, production photographs, and portraits—many previously unpublished, all beautifully reproduced from pristine prints—combine with Mark Vieira's engrossing text to bring vividly to life the actress who inspired the critic Kenneth Tynan to declare: "What, when drunk, one sees in other women, one sees in Garbo sober.

From the first frame Greta Garbo (1905-1990) awed moviegoers with her ethereal beauty and palpable presence. Rising to stardom between two world wars, Garbo appeared at a time when she was most needed. From the frenetic twenties through the numbing dreariness of the Great Depression, she epitomized the woman for whom the world so desperately longed - a human goddess, hauntingly mortal and perfectly immortal. This heavily illustrated tour through the film career of Greta Garbo (1905“ “1990) offers both a biography and a discussion of her very special mystique. In his "candid, perceptive portrait of Hollywood's most mysterious star" (Publishers Weekly) from 1976, Robert Payne describes how Garbo's timeless beauty worked its magic in such films as Flesh and the Devil, Anna Christie, Mata Hari, Grand Hotel, Queen Christina, Camille, and Ninotchka. Full-page film stills and publicity photos show the transformation of working-class girl Greta Gustafsson into a Hollywood bit player and then into an icon of cinema glamour.
