In the late 1930s, she was appearing on stage in London (her first great success was "Street Scene"), and Louis B. Mayer saw her in "Old Music" in London in 1939, and signed her to star in MGM's Goodbye Mr. Chips, where she was nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award.

She passed away in 1996 at the age of 91. Artist: Kurt Glombig Important Added Info: Note that this is a special German personality poster of Greer Garson, featuring great art of Miss Garson by Kurt Glombig, created by MGM in the late 1940s for use in German movie theaters that were showing Greta Garbo movies. After the end of World War II, there were lots of U.S. servicemen stationed in Germany and Japan, and LOTS of American movies were shown in those countries, both to U.S. servicemen, and the local populations. The distributor of this poster, the "Motion Picture Export Association", is the same company that distributed American movies to Japan and a few other countries in the late 1940s.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had a thin line of tiny scuff marks from the left of Garson's face down into her hair, with a total of around 10 tiny marks. There were also a few creases, scuffs, and other tiny marks scattered throughout the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who backed the poster did not really address the above scuffing. It is not that distracting, but certainly, another restorer could perform additional restoration without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
