GARBO Greta (Icon)

Called the "greatest star of all", Greta Garbo wears a masculine jacket, cut with sexual ambiguity, in a portrait by Cecil Beaton. Beaton wrote of his subject, "Perhaps no other person has had such an influence on the appearance of a whole generation... the secret of appeal seems to lie in an elusive and haunting sensitivity... Garbo has created a style in fashion which is concerned with her individual self". Garbo arrived in Hollywood aged nineteen in the entourage of Mauritz Stiller from Sweden. Signed up by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, she went on to star in Queen Christina (1933), Camille (1936) and Anna Karenina (1935), dressed by Adrian. Famed as a recluse, she said in 1932, "I am awkward, shy, afraid, nervous and self-conscious about my English. That is why I built a wall of repression about myself and lived behind it". The director George Cukor said that she reserved "her real sensuousness for the camera".
