Greta Garbo as Grusinskaya in Grand Hotel (1932) directed by Edmund Goulding.
"In early 1932, Garbo played a fading ballerina in an episode of Grand Hotel. It was the first Hollywood film with several stars in the same movie, each with a different story, all staying at Berlin’s Grand Hotel. It launched a popular film genre—the all-star movie. Garbo is surprisingly persuasive as the ballerina. She wears a tutu, although she doesn’t dance en pointe, and her love scenes with the aging John Barrymore are campy. But she pronounced her famous line “I want to be alone” in the film. Producers often had stars refer to their off-screen lives in their films to promote interest in them as personalities, encouraging audience members to identify with their favorite stars, whose lives were detailed in the movie fan magazines." (Ideal Beauty: The Life and Times of Greta Garbo)

nightmare alley (1947) directed by edmund goulding
"Throughout the ages man has sought to look behind the veil that hides him from tomorrow. And through the ages certain men have looked into the polished crystal and seen. Is it some quality of the crystal itself? Or does the gazer merely use it to turn his gaze inward? Who knows? But visions come. Slowly shifting their form. Visions come."

List of my favorite Bette Davis characters, in no particular order [3/?]
↳ Judith Traherne, Dark Victory (1939) dir. Edmund Goulding.
—You know, I used to be afraid. I've died a thousand times, when death really comes, it will come as an old friend. Gently and quietly.

Left without her special friend and protector (George Schlee), Garbo has taken up with some of her companions of earlier years, including Gayelord Hauser. Thanks, apparently, to his continued intake of blackstrap molasses, yoghurt and other “living” foods, Hauser, at 75, still a bachelor, remains full of bounce, and is noticeably pleased to resume the role of occasional escort. Garbo spent part of the summer following Schlee's death cruising among the Greek islands with two other old friends, Cecil Beaton, the fashionable British photographer and man about the arts, and Baroness Cecile de Rothschild, on the latter's yacht.
The Baroness, a daughter of a French banker is a white-haired, self-assured, cosmopolitan woman, who has made a reputation as connoisseur of objets d'art and people. Being the kind of person who is accustomed to taking command, she was the one to whom Garbo turned when Schlee was stricken, and it was to her Paris residence that Garbo repaired.
The Baroness is among the select few who visit Garbo in her apartment and are entrusted with her private telephone number. Possession of the number does not, however, guarantee getting through to its owner. As often as not, Garbo will answer the phone, and even if the caller's voice is as instantly recognizable as, for example, Cecil Beaton's, she will reply in the impersonal tone of a maid, “Miss Garbo isn't in. Is there a message?” Not all of her friends find this little conceit amusing.
Greta Garbo in Grand Hotel (1932) directed by Edmund Goulding.
