Greta Garbo was more than one of Hollywood’s greatest stars. She helped change how women saw themselves and how the world viewed female independence.
Rich speaks with author Scott Reisfield, Garbo’s great-nephew and the author of Greta Garbo: The Rise of the Modern Woman. Drawing from family letters, personal memories, and years of archival research, Scott separates the real Garbo from the myths surrounding her private life and abrupt disappearance from motion pictures.
In this conversation:
- Discover why working women connected so strongly with Garbo
- Learn how Hollywood censorship prevented several planned films
- Hear why Garbo continued pursuing projects long after 1941
- Explore how pernicious anemia affected her work and health
- Understand Garbo’s lasting influence on women, acting, photography, and culture
Scott also recommends the best films for first-time Garbo viewers and shares the surprising question he would ask his great-aunt today.
