When this article went to press, Greta Garbo (1905 – 1990) had achieved a new kind of fame: a fame that celebrated how camera-shy and introverted she was – this was new day in the history of Hollywood actors.

“Attempting to hide behind her wide-brimmed hat or dark glasses, the beautiful Garbo has traveled the world pretending to be someone else. At various times she has hidden behind such ‘Plain Jane’ names as: Harriet Brown, Karin Lund, Emily Clark, Mary Holmquist and Gussie Berger. Her own real name, before she was transformed into Garbo, was hardly more distinctive – Greta Gustafsson.”
