00:00:52,750 --> 00:00:55,{\an8}[Greta Garbo] What a waste
of the best years of my life.

00:00:56,583 --> 00:00:58,{\an8} Always alone.

00:01:00,541 --> 00:01:04,It was so stupid
not be able to partake more.

00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:07,No.

00:01:07,708 --> 00:01:09,Now I'm just a gypsy.

00:01:10,583 --> 00:01:12,Living a life apart.

-[man] Hello, Claire.

- [Koger] Mr Green. Yes.

00:01:44,833 --> 00:01:47,- [Sam Green] Is Ms Garbo there?

00:01:47,916 --> 00:01:49,She won't be back,

00:01:49,750 --> 00:01:52,er, not before 12:00.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,- [Sam] Not before 12:00?
-No.

00:01:54,875 --> 00:01:57,[Sam] All right. Well, I'll try her
a little after 12:00, then.

00:01:57,791 --> 00:02:00,-Thank you very much. Goodbye.
-Bye-bye.

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,[soft music plays]

00:04:23,583 --> 00:04:25,[narrator] Greta Garbo…

00:04:26,125 --> 00:04:29,Sounds kind of familiar, right?

00:04:30,791 --> 00:04:32,A Hollywood icon.

00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:37,A poster girl from
the Golden Age of Cinema.

00:04:38,916 --> 00:04:40,But as the years pass,

00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,her fanbase gets smaller.

00:04:44,625 --> 00:04:46,And like all once greats,

00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:50,she'll become just

00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:53,an iconic image.

00:05:01,208 --> 00:05:03,We all have our time here on Earth.

00:05:05,333 --> 00:05:07,The greats today
will one day be forgotten.

00:05:09,333 --> 00:05:12,Only a few will achieve success so great

00:05:12,875 --> 00:05:15,they'll be remembered
long after they're gone.

00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:17,But as time passes,

00:05:18,625 --> 00:05:20,so does the truth.

00:05:21,541 --> 00:05:23,And what we are left with

00:05:24,083 --> 00:05:25,is a myth.

00:05:26,541 --> 00:05:28,In her time,

00:05:28,125 --> 00:05:32,Garbo was the most
famous woman in the world,

00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:36,smashed all the glass ceilings

00:05:36,416 --> 00:05:39,and became one of Hollywood's
most bankable stars,

00:05:40,833 --> 00:05:43,the highest-earning actor of her time.

00:05:44,833 --> 00:05:47,And the most extraordinary part

00:05:48,416 --> 00:05:50,is that she came from nothing.

00:05:54,916 --> 00:05:56,[people talking indistinctly]

00:05:57,041 --> 00:05:58,[dramatic orchestral music plays]

00:06:03,875 --> 00:06:07,A real rags-to-riches story.

00:06:07,125 --> 00:06:09,Overcoming childhood poverty,

00:06:09,333 --> 00:06:13,lining up at food banks,
relying on handouts.

00:06:13,375 --> 00:06:17,Garbo went on to be scouted to model
while working at a department store.

00:06:17,208 --> 00:06:21,And the rest, as they say, is history.

00:06:21,583 --> 00:06:23,{\an8}[brooding music plays]

00:06:25,875 --> 00:06:28,[narrator] No one came close
to commanding the power

00:06:28,250 --> 00:06:30,that she held in Hollywood.

00:06:31,208 --> 00:06:33,{\an8} She could have done anything she wanted.

00:06:35,083 --> 00:06:37,But at the absolute height of her fame,

00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:40,she disappeared.

00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,{\an8} One day, the world's biggest star.

00:06:45,666 --> 00:06:48,{\an8} The next day… gone.

00:06:49,916 --> 00:06:54,{\an8} Why she stopped and where she went

00:06:54,208 --> 00:06:57,have remained a mystery to this day.

00:06:59,541 --> 00:07:01,[brooding music plays]

00:07:11,875 --> 00:07:14,{\an8}[Joan Crawford]
When a queen gives up her throne,

00:07:14,666 --> 00:07:17,{\an8} she becomes a private person.

00:07:17,291 --> 00:07:22,She frees herself from all the myths
and legends that burden majesty.

00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:25,She gradually passes into history.

00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:29,But a film star like Greta Garbo

00:07:29,083 --> 00:07:31,finds that her stardom
will not let people forget her.

00:07:33,666 --> 00:07:36,What is the Garbo legend?

00:07:40,958 --> 00:07:44,[Stig Björkman] Why would
one of the world's most famous

00:07:44,125 --> 00:07:46,and most talented actresses

00:07:47,291 --> 00:07:49,just stop like that?

00:07:49,625 --> 00:07:51,[Björn Vingård] She was a clever lady,

00:07:51,541 --> 00:07:53,and she had decided
to withdraw from publicity

00:07:53,791 --> 00:07:57,and from public life, and that was it.

00:07:57,958 --> 00:08:03,[Lena Einhorn] Everybody else just wanted
to make more movies and stay on top,

00:08:03,208 --> 00:08:05,and she just wanted to get out of there.

00:08:05,291 --> 00:08:09,[Maria Lundell] She never thinks
she's gonna be a big star like she became.

00:08:09,416 --> 00:08:13,She wanted to be like anyone else.
She just wanted to act.

00:08:13,958 --> 00:08:17,[Scott Reisfield] It was obvious
to everybody in the industry

00:08:18,291 --> 00:08:21,that she was going to be transformative.

00:08:29,708 --> 00:08:31,She is perfectly charming.

00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,-Very humorous, very conscientious.
-Mmm.

00:08:35,083 --> 00:08:38,{\an8}Not very happy and genuinely shy.

00:08:38,791 --> 00:08:41,{\an8}-[interviewer] Were you competitors?
-No.

00:08:41,791 --> 00:08:44,Nobody was ever a competitor.

00:08:44,458 --> 00:08:46,-[interviewer] Is that true?
-Not with Garbo, no.

00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:48,-[interviewer] Oh.
-No.

00:08:49,416 --> 00:08:50,No, no.

00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:59,{\an8}She had a real mystique
and a real, real gift for movie acting.

00:09:00,541 --> 00:09:03,You don't become
that famous for no reason.

00:09:04,333 --> 00:09:09,Maybe to a young generation now,
who are into films,

00:09:09,833 --> 00:09:11,Garbo is just a name.

00:09:11,916 --> 00:09:15,{\an8}When I went to Stockholm years ago,
they showed me in their…

00:09:15,416 --> 00:09:17,{\an8}in their film institute there,

00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:23,{\an8}two commercials for bread that
she made to be shown in movie theatres.

00:09:23,208 --> 00:09:25,There was this great galumphing…

00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:29,-Swedish cow…
-[laughter]

00:09:30,458 --> 00:09:32,…having a picnic.
There was nothing to show you

00:09:32,916 --> 00:09:35,that you were looking at
the most divine creature

00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:36,who would ever be on the screen.

00:09:36,625 --> 00:09:38,And two years later, she was Greta Garbo.

00:09:39,291 --> 00:09:42,Now, I have no explanation
whatsoever for that.

00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,[brooding music plays]

00:09:54,125 --> 00:09:58,Act One, June 21st, 1925.

00:09:58,666 --> 00:10:01,A small tearoom in Stockholm, Sweden.

00:10:01,666 --> 00:10:04,Sat in the back of a busy café,

00:10:04,333 --> 00:10:09,a young Greta excitedly writes a letter
to her best friend, Mimi Pollak.

00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:11,[soft music plays]

00:10:18,208 --> 00:10:19,{\an8}[Garbo] Darling, Mimi,

00:10:20,083 --> 00:10:23,{\an8} a few days ago Stiller called me
for the first time in months

00:10:23,833 --> 00:10:26,and informed me about the trip to America.

00:10:27,375 --> 00:10:30,How I would have loved
to talk to you before this.

00:10:32,083 --> 00:10:34,If you knew how good
it feels to have a person

00:10:34,375 --> 00:10:36,who's so sweet towards me.

00:10:37,958 --> 00:10:41,You're the only one, darling,
that I have really talked to

00:10:41,583 --> 00:10:43,about what hurts.

00:10:44,916 --> 00:10:47,Thank you for everything
you've done and been for me.

00:10:48,541 --> 00:10:50,Until we'll meet again.

00:10:51,041 --> 00:10:53,Don't forget me.

00:11:00,541 --> 00:11:03,{\an8}[Lundell] My grandmother,
she was from a rich family,

00:11:03,791 --> 00:11:06,{\an8} but Greta, she was in a poor family.

00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:10,{\an8}They met when they were 12, 13 years old.

00:11:12,458 --> 00:11:14,{\an8}They were close, very, very close.

00:11:15,666 --> 00:11:20,When they don't have school,
they go outside and… [inhales]

00:11:20,083 --> 00:11:24,They picked up cigarettes
from the ground and smoked.

00:11:24,833 --> 00:11:26,Oh, my...
