Miss Greta Garbo, portrait photograph, 1925 July 27: A Timeless Image of Hollywood Glamour and Mystery This evocative black and white portrait of Greta Garbo, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on July 27, 1925, captures the enigmatic allure and magnetic screen presence of one of Hollywood's most iconic figures. The image, taken at the Commodore Hotel in New York City, showcases Garbo in her prime, as she was just beginning to make a name for herself in the American film industry. Born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1905, Garbo came to the United States in 1924 and quickly rose to fame as a silent film star. Known for her mesmerizing gaze and enigmatic demeanor, she became an instant sensation, with fans clamoring for more of her mysterious on-screen persona. In this portrait, Genthe masterfully captures Garbo's captivating beauty and enigmatic allure. Her intense gaze, framed by her signature bobbed haircut and dramatic makeup, draws the viewer in, while her enigmatic expression hints at the depth and complexity of the woman behind the screen. This image is a testament to the power of cinema and the enduring allure of Hollywood glamour. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when the magic of the movies could transport audiences to another world, and when the enigmatic figures who populated the silver screen seemed larger than life. This portrait is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. It is a valuable addition to the heritage of American cinematography and performing arts, and a testament to the enduring legacy of one of Hollywood's most iconic figures. This image is a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance and rarity.
