BIOGRAPHY® traces this mysterious star's life -- from her poor childhood in Stockholm through her early years in Hollywood silent films to her smooth transition to talkies with her low, throaty voice. Known for her reclusiveness, the less she spoke, the more the public and the press pursued her. In particular, her exotic love affairs were followed closely, even long after she retired from film. GRETA GARBO: THE MYSTERIOUS LADY features clips from her sensual performance opposite John Gilbert in the MGM silent film FLESH AND THE DEVIL, her sound film debut, her final two comedy films, and rare clips of Garbo on the streets of New York City in the 1970s. Interviews include acquaintances, walking companions, biographers, journalists, and a photographer who spent twelve years of his life stalking Garbo during her final years. Karen Swenson, author of Greta Garbo: A Life Apart, was a consultant for the program.
