"Legendary Actress. Greta Garbo was born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson on September 18, 1905 in Stockholm, Sweden to poor parents.In her first motion picture, "Luffar-Petter" (1922) she played a bathing beauty. She studied at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm from 1922 to 1924.During that period of time, she met Mauritz Stiller, the Swedish director who gave her a role in "Gosta Berlings Saga" (1924). He also gave her the stage name of Greta Garbo and trained her in cinema-acting techniques. When Stiller went to the United States to work for MGM in 1925, he demanded that Greta be given a contract as well."














" "Anna Christie" (1930) was the talking picture in which her rich, low voice was first heard."
