Entertaining enough biography which seems to rely heavily on other biographers. It breezes through her life, times and films - it feels like a long essay, which is fine. It includes an anthology of other writing on Garbo, including profiles by Ken Tynan and Lili Palmer, which seems like cheating. Goes into the dressing in clothes and possible bisexuality and all that. Garbo isn't that mysterious she just photographed well and honestly couldn't give a stuff. People go in raptures over her. It's odd.
