Description
Greta Garbo’s enduring legend derives from her incandescent performances as a woman in love in such classics as Camille, Queen Christina and Grand Hotel. For half a century her apparently reclusive existence enhanced her reputation as a remote and enigmatic screen goddess.Now, in this beautifully illustrated book, Hugo Vickers tells the remarkable story of Greta Garbo and of the two love affairs that dominated her life: with Cecil Beaton and the notorious Mercedes de Acosta. It is a highly revealing portait of an exotic world – at its centre, an enthrallign and demanding star who gave little in return.

| Review Quote | Hugely ambitious… Vickers's triumph has been to weave the lives of three bisexual, egotistical monsters into an utterly enthralling narrative. |
| Other text | This enticing book… is wonderful. |
