Miss Greta Garbo, Portrait Photograph, 1925 July 31: A Timeless Icon of Silent Film Era This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Greta Garbo, the Swedish-born Hollywood actress who became a global sensation during the 1920s. Taken on July 31, 1925, at the Commodore Hotel in New York City, this photograph by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe (1869-1942) showcases the actress in her prime. Born as Greta Lovisa Gustafsson on September 18, 1905, in Stockholm, Sweden, Garbo arrived in America in 1924 and quickly captured the attention of MGM executives with her striking looks and captivating screen presence. In this portrait, Genthe masterfully captures Garbo's enigmatic persona, with her piercing gaze and enigmatic smile that would become her trademark. The photograph is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection, housed at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The collection, which includes over 40,000 negatives, is a testament to Genthe's remarkable career as a photographer, documenting the people, places, and events of the early 20th century. Garbo's career as a silent film star spanned from 1922 to 1930, during which she appeared in over 20 films. Her most famous roles include "Manslaughter" (1922), "Flesh and the Devil" (1926), and "Anna Christie" (1930), which solidified her status as a leading lady of the silver screen. Despite her retirement from acting in 1941, Garbo's legacy continues to inspire generations of artists, filmmakers, and audiences. This portrait by Arnold Genthe serves as a reminder of the enduring power of her enigmatic persona and the magic of the silent film era.
