The legendary actress Greta Garbo is a symbol of the Hollywood era and an embodiment of mystery. Why did she decide to leave cinema at the peak of her fame? How did espionage rumors and Russian émigrés intertwine with her biography? The lecture will unveil the unknown facets of the "Snow Queen" and reveal what was hidden behind the flawless frame. Greta Garbo's name has become synonymous with mystery, elegance, and unspoken words. She was called the "Snow Queen of Hollywood" - not only for her cold beauty but also for her unwillingness to conform to the industry's rules. She became a true symbol of the era, and her story is a source of many speculations and myths. The lecture at the Russian National Library will provide a detailed account of the great actress's life - from her Swedish beginnings to dizzying fame in the USA. Why did Garbo turn down her career while at the top? Why did the Washington Post call her the actress of the millennium? And what connected her with Russian émigrés? Lecturer Fyodor Korkin will explore Garbo's journey: a woman who shocked Hollywood by rejecting fame, wore diamonds on screen but could not stand them in life, and played the same character - Anna Karenina - in two different interpretations. Fans can expect rare archival footage, film quotes, and even lesser-known facts, such as Garbo's possible espionage activities during World War II.
