ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

My Favorite Things I love about Greta Garbo

Today marks the first day of a new month which means a new classic movie goddess. And that honor goes to the one and only Greta Garbo. All month long I will post pics, facts, trivia, and of course reviews of her films.

I will begin with my usual series called My Favorite Things. The things I love most about Greta.

1. The voice. Her very distinct voice was one of the best assets Greta had.

2. Her face. So beautiful and was actually her nickname at one point.

3. A true icon. You say Garbo, and everybody knows who you are talking about.

4. While she did tons of melodramas, my favorite film of hers is the romantic comedy, Ninotchka.

5. Her great style of fashion. No one looked better in a beret than she did.

6. Extremely talented. Watch any of her films and it is acting 101. Pure and simple.

7. Just because...she is GARBO!

Kimberly J.M. Wilson said...: Many reasons to love Garbo. She was one of a kind. Who walks away at the height of their career because they don't want to be bothered anymore? Garbo...; April 2, 2012 at 3:28 AM

Lauren LoGiudice said...: There really wasn't anyone like her....and since.

Katherine Hepburn attested to this.

On a personal level, as I develop my stage play about her I find more and more about this interesting creature!; April 13, 2012 at 12:37 PM
