A tribute to the magnetic, enigmatic Swedish actress (1905-1990) who wanted "to be alone". She was mysterious and fascinating, just as much in her personal life as well as her screen persona. I thought Nat King Cole's "Mona Lisa" suited the photos of Garbo perfectly. Her ambiguous sexuality (there is still some dispute as to whether she was asexual, hetrosexual, homosexual, or bisexual)and her disinterest in fame (she loved the income that being a film star provided but resented the intrusion into her privacy), makes her all the more compelling as a star. Enjoy!
