Happy Birthday, Greta Garbo! | 18 September, 1905 – 15 April, 1990.

“Garbo still belongs to that moment in cinema when capturing the human face still plunged audiences into the deepest ecstasy, when one literally lost oneself in a human image as one would in a philtre, when the face represented a kind of absolute state of the flesh, which could be neither reached nor renounced.”  – Roland Barthes
