by MovieMaker Staff | Published September 16, 2006

Born 1905, Stockholm, Sweden. Died April 15, 1990. Nominated for four Best Actress Academy Awards: in 1930 for the title role in Anna Christie (dir. Clarence Brown) and for Madame Rita Cavallini in Romance (dir. Clarence Brown), in 1938 for Marguerite Gautier in Camille (dir. George Cukor), and in 1940 for the title role in Ninotchka (dir. Ernst Lubitsch). Other classic works include Torrent (dir. Vicente Blasco Ibáñez), Flesh and the Devil (dir. Clarence Brown), Grand Hotel (dir.Edmund Goudling), Anna Karenina (dir. Clarence Brown), and A Woman of Affairs (dir. Clarence Brown).

Filmstar Factoid: Though she is one of the most famous actresses in moviemaking history, Garbo’s film career ended with the poorly received comedy, “Two-Faced Woman.” Only one year after receiving her fourth Best Actress nomination, Garbo retired from film at the age of 36.
