Greta Garbo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1277 words)
Garbo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Anna Christie (1930), Romance (1930), Camille (1937) and Ninotchka (1939).
Greta Garbo was considered one of the most glamorous movie stars of the 1920s and 1930s.
It is often reported that Garbo chose to retire from cinema after this film's failure, but already by 1937 she was becoming more choosy about her roles, and eventually years passed without her agreeing to do another film.
