My Greta Garbo Presentation
I was born on September 18th, 1905 in Stockholm, Sweden. My birth name
was Greta Lovisa Gustafsson.

At the age of 14, I worked as a clerk in a department store. Soon, that
led me to modeling. After that, I did 2 short modeling films for advertisement.

I attended grammar school until 1919. I had to drop out due to my father’s
sickness.
In the fall of 1920, I was chosen to model hats for Paul U. Bergstrom’s company.
I was also to appear in the promotional film for the department store called
“How Not To Dress.”

In the summer of 1921, I appeared in another promotional film called,
“Our Daily Bread”, but this time I was promoting bakery products.

In July, 1922, I met a famous producer/director named Erik Petschler ,
and he offered me a part in his upcoming film. I left my job at PUB to
pursue my dream of acting.

In the September of 1922, I was accepted as a student into the Royal
Dramatic Theater Academy.
On December 26th 1922, Erik Petschler’s movie premiered, but it was not giv
as much credit as was expected, which meant not a lot of popularity for me.
But I chose to keep my head held high and continue concentrating
on my career of acting.

In spring 1923, my friend Mona Martenson and I were selected to audition for
a Swedish film director named Mauritz Stiller. We both got a part in his
upcoming movie, “The Saga of Gosta Berling.”

On November 9th 1923, my name was officially changed to Greta Garbo.
It is now my stage name.
In 1926, I starred in a movie called The Temptress.

In 1927, I starred in another movie called Flesh And the Devil.

These films not only made me famous, but I was introduced to
John Gilbert. The day we were to be married, I left him standing
at the alter. .

All in all, I appeared in 15 sound films, and 11 silent films.
A lot of the films that were to be filmed or premiered that I had a role in turned
to be a failure. After that, I just gave up. I was offered very many parts in upcom
and some I took very seriously. But they all turned out the same. In 1953, I bou
7 room apartment in New York City and I decided to live a private life after that
When I went out, I wore hats and big sunglasses so that I would not be bother
In my last years, I lived an extremely reclusive life.

In 1984 I was successfully treated for breast cancer.

On April 15th, 1990, I died as a result of pneumonia and renal failu
(kidney failure) I died in a New York Hospital. I was 84 years old.




                                       This is my grave. It is located in
                                       Stockholm, where I was born.
I was an important person of the 1920’s because
I appeared in so many movies. I may not seem so important
today, but back then, sound films were not so common…
Actors and actresses were extremely popular because it was an
interesting new technology.
