Some of his movies include: The Big Parade, The Merry Widow, and many other major MGM movies of the 1920s and early 1930s. He co-starred with Greta Garbo in several memorable movies. There is an urban legend that his career was ruined because he had a squeaky high-pitched voice, but actually that was not the case! Gilbert refused to follow the studio head Louis B. Mayer's orders, and he essentially ruined his career, although Garbo insisted he be allowed to co-star with her in Queen Christina, but his career was basically over after that, and he died of a heart attack in 1936 at the age of 38. Important Added Info: Note that this is from a special series of deluxe English postcards ("Famous Cinema Star Series") that is printed with an embossed border around the edges (giving it a picture frame appearance), and each card has "GUARANTEED REAL PHOTOGRAPH" on the back. They are quite nice when viewed in person in person. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
