Short and sweet

At only 150 pages, this little volume covers a lot of ground in the life of the legend but without unnecessary detail. Even though it was published 20 years before Garbo's death, one will miss virtually nothing about the remaining years in the life of the continually reclusive and elusive "Miss Harriet Brown"--- following her 1942 departure from Hollywood after the disastrous "Two-Faced Woman", Garbo's life was characterized by one after another chance public encounters as she attempted to hide in plain sight---recounting all variations on this essentially single theme between the 1969 publication date and her death in 1990 would become overburdensome. This bio is direct and to the point, full of interesting quotes and revealing personal observations from the star herself, and highlighting the important relationships while skipping too much anecdote. It concludes with a complete filmography.
