Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. She first rose to prominence in a movie in her native Sweden, and then attracted the interest of Hollywood, but she would only sign a contract if they would sign her director as well, and MGM agreed! Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: MGM created two different sets of personality posters in the 1930s to promote their stars. The earlier set was made in 1932, and this poster comes from that set. These posters are extremely rare as few theaters ordered them, and fewer still saved them! Condition: good to very good. As is typical with these MGM personality posters, there are a few minor chips out of the borders. There are more significant chips out of the right border, and there is a 2" tear at the bottom of Garbo's hair.. Note that due to the type of paper these posters were printed on, they must be sent in large flat packages. If you are from outside the United States, this poster will cost a lot to send, as the package will be very large. Please take this into account before placing a bid. If you are from inside the United States, we will only charge our normal shipping, even though it will cost us much more than that to send properly! Learn More about condition grades
