Date Sold 2/6/2014Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 3 Undated (probably 1950s) Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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. Important Added Info: Note that we think that these lobby cards are most likely from 1950s international re-releases of Garbo's movies (they are quite similar to other international cards printed on thin stock with no writing on them) however we have not seen these cards before, so if anyone knows more about them, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. Each card has several pinholes and minor defects around the edges, with a few faint creases, scuffs and tiny smudges scattered in various areas. The cards pictured at lower left and upper right have a few tiny dots of surface paper loss at upper left but otherwise they are in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
