  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 portrait of an exotic world - at its centre, an enthralling and demanding star who gave little in return.
