“For each MGM film Garbo was photographed on the set by a still photographer.
Garbo also had at least one session with a portrait photographer.

Ruth Harriet Louise made the portraits during the filming of The Temptress. The Stills were made during the production by Bertram (Buddy) Longworth.” [quoted from source]

Greta Garbo in Anna Christie directed by Clarence Brown, 1930 / image source: TheRedList

In the 1960′s, she said to her friend Raymond Daum:

“I’m sorry for a lot of things, for quitting things…. Actually, I’ve been out of order for years. It takes forever for me … to make a move. How can I do anything when I can’t even move from my living room to my other room? A friend told me, ‘You are like a mollusk!’

I didn’t know what it meant, so I looked it up – it’s an animal that doesn’t move, just sits there.” / text source: Garbo Forever
